Ludogorets did not defeat Vereya

The spring semi-season in the First professional league began in a surprising way. The overall leader Ludogorets and the last in the last team in the rating Vereya achieved an even 0:0 score.

Antoni Zdravkov did his best. Plamen Iliev made his official debut, but Renan and Natanael were not included in the composition.

Marcelinho missed another chance a few minutes later, sending the ball over the crossbar.

Lukoki outplayed a defender in the 56th minute but Ganev kicked the ball back. Wanderson tried his luck but he was off the target. Keseru finally scored in the 70th minute, but it was cancelled due to an offside situation. Six minutes later Wanderson passed the ball low to Keseru, but the Romanian was not able to receive it. Wanderson sent a powerful shot in the 88th minute but missed the gate.

Adrian Popa made his official debut as well, but he was not able to be of much help.
