The football players of Sozopol and Lokomotiv II Plovdiv drew 1:1 in a match of the 22nd round of the Southeast Third League, which was played at the stadium in Plovdiv.
In the 63rd minute, Efe Ali opened the scoring for the home team, and in the 70th minute, Todor Petkov equalized with a header and there were no more goals until the very end.
“A very good game for our team. In general, we performed very well and left excellent impressions on the spectators who watched the match at the Plovdiv stadium.
In the first half we were the dominant team, in possession of the ball and creating dangers in front of the home team’s goal, which unfortunately we were unable to convert. B. Trendafilov missed twice, as an excuse we can also look for the insufficiently good pitch.
The hosts also created three dangerous chances in front of our goal on the counterattack, but Petar Rahnev’s excellent interventions kept our goal dry. The dynamics of the match continued in the second half, with the initiative of possession of the ball going to one team, then to the other. We conceded a goal from a static position, but we reacted immediately and equalized.
The match became two-edged and the victory could be achieved by either team. Maybe the equal result is fair, but we should be more sorry that we didn’t win, because in the last minute we had an excellent position again through Trendafilov, but he couldn’t convert it.
This is football and misses are an inevitable part of it. Bobby played magnificently and in the next matches he will bring us victories. I’m happy with everyone in this match. Coaches and players are showing growth in this difficult and transitional period. There is optimism for good development and this is important for us as a club. Our football players born in 2004, 2005, 2006 took part in yesterday’s match.
Our central defender Georgi Ivanov was born in 2007 and performed excellently. With a lot of work from everyone, we will try to build a young and strong team for next season. Naturally, I repeat that we have a lot of hard work ahead of us, but we are not afraid,” commented the sports director of Sozopol football club Rumen Dimov.
The match started quite dynamically, as there were situations in front of both doors. In the 64th minute, Lokomotiv II opened the scoring.
Ivan Uzunov shot directly from the foul, the ball hit the crossbar and returned to Efe Ali, who converted for 1:0.
The guests responded quickly and scored an equalizer in the 67th minute. Todor Petkov intercepted a cross from a corner for 1:1.
In the standings, Lokomotiv II is 13th with 28 points, and Sozopol is 11th with three more.
