Ludogorets beat Beroe 2-1 and recorded their first victory in the spring season of the championship. The first match for the team from Razgrad - an away game last week in Sofia - ended in a 1-2 defeat by Levski.
The hosts had the ball before the break, but most of the shots were not particularly dangerous in the opening minutes. In the 21st minute, Erik Markus combined with Caio Vidal, and the attack ended with a shot with Vidal's left foot, but the ball did not find the goal, BTA reports.
In the 38th minute, Agibu Camara tried to take a shot after a mix-up in the penalty area, but it turned out that he was tripped by Miroslav Georgiev. The main referee Ivo Andreev was close to the situation and awarded a penalty. Olivier Verdon stood behind the ball, who shot, but Arthur Mota sensed the direction of the shot and saved it. For Da Mota, this was the first penalty saved since he has been in the Bulgarian championship, with nine taken against him. Only at the end of the half did the guests take their first shot on Bonman's goal, but the German goalkeeper had no problem catching it.
The second half started with a goal for Ludogorets in its second minute, as Caio Vidal scored after a pass from Agibu Camara. Ivaylo Chochev very cleverly missed the pass, seeing how it would become a much more convenient option for Vidal to shoot.
In the 70th minute, Caio Vidal scored his second goal of the match, coming after an attack from the right. Substitute Georgi Rusev fought off Juanka Pineda, then found Jakub Piotrowski. The Pole saw the winger coming in at speed, passed to him and Vidal found Artur Mota's net.
Five minutes later, Jakub Piotrowski tried a cross from the wing, but the ball made a parabola and landed on the post above Da Mota. Berojci responded with a dangerous shot by Carlos Algara, who appeared as a substitute, who miraculously did not find the net.
Two minutes after appearing on the field, Ludogorets' new signing Eric Bile broke through from the right and launched a parallel pass at the 10-meter mark, inside the penalty area. Just before Caio Vidal scored the decisive shot, young Martin Georgiev intervened, who saved his goal with a precise split shot.
In the counterattack, in the 85th minute, Berojci were careful with a ball in front of Ludogorets' penalty area. Werick Caetano took the ball from the unconcentrated Georgi Rusev and passed it to Salido, who immediately got involved in the speed, who controlled it and with the second touch sent the ball through the legs of goalkeeper Bonman for 1:2.
