The intrigue in the second echelon is going on after a happy goal for Naftex in Targovishte

As it was expected, the leaders of both “B” groups, who want to enter into the elite, made a successful spring start and thus kept the intrigue at its highest level. Yet the most nervous, and probably the most pleased at the end, was the famous Naftex’s coach Georgi Vasilev. His team overweighed over Svetkavitsa in the derby in Targovishte with 1:0, after a happy goal of the experienced Shankulov in the 4th minute of the extra time. In this decisive match Gocheto could not use many of his titulars, because of an unpaid fine of the club, imposed by the Executive committee of BFU. The neighbouring to Bourgas team – Nesebar, also made a “ double” in Dobrich with the minimum 1:0 over Dobrudja. The scorer Petar Kanchev disappointed 700 fans of the hosts with a goal in 71st minute, and the players of Djangara held out the victory even after the expulsion of Trifonov shortly before the end of the match. A difficult waking in the East made the team of Dunav that had rather greater ambitions and won with 2:0 against Kaliakra of Vili Vutsov. Petkov from a penalty kick and Simeonov delighted 3 000 Ruse’s spectators at the stadium at the end of the match, when the guests remained with a player less, because of Stankov’s ordering out. Typically for the staff of Kaliakra, they accused the referees of all mortal sins, and the mayor of Kavarna – Tsonko Tsonev, demanded life-long punishment for the referees and threatened with removing the team out of the group. The team of Sliven, with its new coach Mitko Stoichev, did not succeed to bend the resistance of Haskovo and the result of 0:0 hardly delighted Dancho Lechkov. The East leader Chernomorets did not meet many difficulties against the guest Minjor from Radnevo, but won only with 2:1. Hero rested a while, when Shaner Ramzi captures the goal in 17th minute and in 48th minute easily repeated the exercise. But after that Chernomorets stopped proving the difference in classes and in 85th minute Borislav Ivanov decreased the difference to 2:1. Yet the team of Dimitar Dimitrov kept its priority point in the ranking before Naftex. Tomorrow Lokomotiv - the team in the tail, accepts in Stara Zagora the experienced team of Shumen. The Plovdiv’s derby Spartak – Maritsa always has had a special charm.
The West leader Pirin easily won in Blagoevgrad against Belite orli after the goals of Nikolov and Kotse Haruzov, the latter has returned home. For the team of Dancho Samokovliiski, which has a lead of 4 points, the draw 2:2 was a real “good luck”, which the follower Vidima Rakovski reached in Biala Slatina against Chavdar. In the remaining matches there were many goals, except the draw 0:0 between Minjor and Vihar in Pernik. Preslav Yordanov was the hero for the Pleven’s Spartak at result 3:2 against Montana. In Mezdra Lokomotiv lost surprisingly with 2:3 in the match against Minjor from Bobov dol. In Pazardjik Hebar hardly bended the Kiustendil’s Velbajd with 2:1 with the goals of Gigov and Ivanov, while in Gotse Delchev the hosts from Pirin smashed with 3:0 Etar - the one-time champion of Bulgaria.
