Ludogorets took three points from their visit to Loko (Sf) in a match from the 24th round of the First League. "The Eagles" achieved success with 2:1 with goals from Antoine Baroan and Pedro Naresi, BTA reports. The home team from Lokomotiv played for a little over an hour in a reduced squad, after defender Celso Raposo received a red card in the 29th minute. Although with a man less, Lokomotiv tried to press at the end of the match, but the forces of the capital only reached an honorary goal through Ante Aralitsa.
The first key situation in the match came in the 29th minute, when the home team remained in a reduced squad. Right-back Celso Raposo, who already had one yellow card, fouled Caio Vidal near the touchline and received a second official warning from referee Georgi Kabakov, which left the "railwaymen" with ten men on the field.
Five minutes later, Ludogorets used their numerical superiority and took the lead. A diagonal shot by Deroy Duarte on the ground was blocked by goalkeeper Alexander Lyubenov. However, the ball fell to Antoine Baroin, who feinted a defender of the "red-and-blacks" and with a powerful shot from several meters was accurate for 1:0 in favor of Ludogorets.
Shortly after the start of the second half, Ludogorets doubled its lead. Son crossed from a corner kick from the right of Lyubenov's goal and Pedro Naresi jumped the highest to head the ball first into the side post and then into the net for 2:0.
In the 82nd minute, Lokomotiv reduced the deficit on a quick counterattack. Spas Delev combined on the right wing with Junayt Ali, who immediately crossed into the penalty area. The home team's striker Ante Aralitsa jumped over Norwegian defender Aslak Von Witri and headed home for 1:2.
In added time, the guests almost scored an own goal after Dinish Almeida, while trying to clear the ball, passed it behind his back and it went inches short of the side post.
