Ludogorets is the champion of the regular season after defeating Krumovgrad 3-0 with ease. The goals for the "Greens" against Krumovgrad were scored by Aslak Fonn Witry, Erick Marcus, and Jakub Piotrowski. The "Eagles" played with one man less for a full 34 minutes after Caio Vidal was sent off with a direct red card for a tackle on the visitors' goalkeeper, Yanko Georgiev.

The hosts pressured their opponent right from the start, with Piotrowski first missing the target, and then Ivaylo Chochev missing a unique chance by heading the ball wide from a very clean position, although there was an offside situation in the play. In the 17th minute, Deroy Duarte tried his luck but was unlucky.

The "Eagles" scored in the 21st minute. After a well-rehearsed corner kick, left-back Son crossed the ball to the foot of right-back Aslak Fonn Witry, who delivered a beautiful aerial shot that left Yanko Georgiev no chance – 1-0. Five minutes later, the Norwegian could have scored another goal, but his shot missed the target.

Ludogorets killed off any intrigue in the match in the 51st minute. After a cross from Son on the left, Erick Marcus headed the ball past an unprepared Yanko Georgiev, who failed to intervene properly, and the ball ended up in his net – 2-0.

In the 56th minute, the hosts were reduced to ten men when Caio Vidal fouled Yanko Georgiev. Initially, referee Marian Grebensharski showed a yellow card to the Brazilian, but after a VAR review by referee Ventsislav Mitrev, the main referee went to the VAR monitor and changed his decision, sending Caio Vidal off with a red card.

After this incident, the visitors tried to push the game forward, but it was short-lived. In the 63rd minute, Momchil Tsvetanov made a good cross for Catalin Itou, but he missed with his header. Fifteen minutes later, substitute Georgi Rusev fired a powerful shot, and Krumovgrad's goalkeeper Yanko Georgiev managed to save it, though with difficulty.

There was bad news for coach Igor Jovicevic in the 80th minute. Central defender Edwin Kurtulus was injured and replaced by Dinis Almeida. The third goal came in the 83rd minute. Substitute Aguibou Camara made a run on the right and provided an excellent pass to Jakub Piotrowski, who made no mistake – 3-0.

In added time, Oktay Yusein could have pulled one back for Krumovgrad, but after a clearance by Sergio Padt, the ball rolled along the goal line but didn't cross it.
