The Irish team applied pressure on the competitors but did not manage to score another goal in the first half.

Tekpetey tried to score in the 32nd minute, but the gatekeeper caught the ball. Padt prevented another goal before the break.

Shamrock added a second goal just two minutes before the end. The home team knew that there would be added time, but it was the moment when Ludogorets created a counterattack that paid off. Cauly scored a goal, enough to send Ludogorets ahead in the battle for the Champions League. The Bulgarian champions have the chance to enter the Conference League as well.
