Ludogorets missed to CSKA at “Vasil Levski”

CSKA and Ludogorets ended 2:2 in a spectacular match in front of over 10 000 spectators at Vasil Levski Stadium.

After just 45 seconds of play, Rwan crossed from the left to Erick Marcus, who shot from the air, but fortunately for the hosts – into an outfield. Ludogorets took the lead in the 8th minute. Then Duah broke through from the left and passed to Rick, Ivan Dyulgerov cleared his shot, but the ball returned to the Brazilian, who knocked for Erick Marcus, who with a powerful shot on the ground put the ball between the legs of the “red” goalkeeper. A new danger followed for the guests, which ended with an inaccurate shot by Duah. The first better opportunity for CSKA came in the 23rd minute, when, after a cross from a corner, Jhonatan Lindseth shot with a header. Shortly after, Naressi brought Rick down the left wing, who failed to land a good shot.

CSKA managed to equalize in the 32nd minute. Then Stanislav Shopov passed to Godwin Koyalipu, who ran past Olivier Verdon and Dinis Almeida and masterfully put the ball into Hendrick Bonmann's net - 1:1. Shopov's shot followed from a foul, but it went straight into Bonmann's hands.

At the beginning of the second half, Eto'o outpaced Rick and passed well to Shopov, who immediately shot with his right foot, but inaccurately. In the 62nd minute, Godwin Koyalipu could have scored his second goal of the match, but centimeters separated him from another goal. An excellent technical shot by Zümur Butuchi followed, which was saved with difficulty by Hendrick Bonmann.

In the 74th minute, Ludogorets took the lead for the second time. Son crossed wonderfully from the left to reserve Ivaylo Chochev, who crushed Sanyang in the air and headed a superb shot that left no chance for Dyulgerov. Immediately after the goal, Alexander Tomas reacted by bringing his other central striker Aaron Iseka into play. In the 80th minute, James Eto'o shot powerfully, but it went wide. Immediately after that, Rick got into a great position, and could have put an end to the dispute, but Dulgerov saved his performance on the ground.

CSKA managed to equalize in the 91st minute. Then James Eto'o fought for a ball, which went to the reserve Mathias Faeton. The Guadeloupe national team came down the left wing and with a very strong shot left no chances for Bonmann - 2:2. By the end of the added 6 minutes, Rwan could have caused Ivan Dulgerov big headaches, but he did not find the target.
