Ludogorets lost 0:1 to Pirin in Todor Nedelev's debut. Thus, the champions are 4 points behind CSKA, who yesterday drew 1:1 with Loko Pld. The goal for the guests fell in the 45th minute. Preslav Yordanov scored from a penalty awarded after consultation with VAR.

Ludogorets played very poorly in the first half of the game and created almost no situations in front of Pirin's net.

After the break, coach Ante Simundza made some substitutions and the Eagles had some chances, but no goal. The closest to a hit were Nedelev, Despodov, Naressi and Russo.

In the next round Ludogorets hosts Cherno More.
