The Bulgarian national team suffered its first loss in this year’s UEFA Nations League competition. The Lions suffered a heavy 5-0 defeat against Northern Ireland in Belfast by the Irish Sea.
The British took control of the match, unfortunately, from the very beginning and pressured the selection of Ilian Iliev.
First, Dion Charles delighted the full stands of Windsor Park after 15 minutes, and in the 30th minute, Isaac Price doubled the home team’s lead. Brody Spencer increased the lead for the Islanders after 32 minutes of play and they clearly dominated the match while our players struggled to find a way into the match.
In the second half, the home team scored two more goals, which defined their success. Isaac Price scored his second of the game in the 82nd minute, and late home pressure gave substitute Josh McGennis the chance to seal a final 5-0 win at Windsor Park.
This is the first defeat for the Bulgarian national team against this opponent since 1977, and it is also the first loss for Ilian Iliev since his appointment as the national coach of the “lions”, writes “Gong”.
In the 42nd minute, Kiril Despodov missed a penalty kick for Bulgaria, shooting into the opponent’s crossbar. For the first time since 1993, the Northern Irish scored five goals in their history. The reality is that the home team did not have a direct direct shot at the opponent’s goal.
After the nightmarish loss with 0:5, the Bulgarians have the remaining matches against Luxembourg as a guest, after which ours will have to welcome Belarus.
