TOMI 1 - 3 _BF_ (382592529)

Clouds darkened the skies at zgyria as 29682 spectators turned up for the match. Rene Svensson was the appointed referee with assistance provided by Per Beckström and Juan den Rooijen. TOMI had chosen a strategic 3-5-2 formation. Starters: Sayrak - Sivkov, Salas, Nakip - Griūnas, Quadrio Curzo, Martín, Back, Sørloth - Šulskis, Iovu.

_BF_ started off with a 3-4-3 lineup. Lineup: Trifonov - Petkov, Mihaylov, Lalev - Mitev, Stoyanov, Anderssen, Demirbilek - Nikolov, Toromanov, Akçasu.

After 11 minutes, _BF_ sent a free kick in high over the penalty box. In what looked like a well-rehearsed move, the ball was headed backwards and reached K. Akçasu, who had plenty of space to place a well aimed shot - 0 - 1. V. Sivkov of TOMI received a yellow card after 23 minutes for unsportsmanlike behaviour. No matter how hard he tried, R. Iovu just couldn't get his shot past the visitors' right side defence after 28 minutes. With 37 minutes played, TOMI's R. Iovu found an opening in the visitors' left side defence, but his shot was handled easily by the keeper. With 38 minutes played, after a good run down the left, R. Iovu went down looking for a penalty after a challenge from the visitors' right fullback, but the referee waved play on, and later warned him for diving. A corner kick created great disorder in the penalty area with a goal nearly scored by B. Petkov. At last, _BF_'s A. Mihaylov was able to backheel the ball in. 0 - 2. TOMI's R. Iovu managed a superb strike from the left after 41 minutes that would have left goalkeeper A. Trifonov without a chance, had it not hit the post. TOMI's A. Sørloth was shown a yellow card after 42 minutes for slicing down an opponent. Halftime score was 0 - 2. TOMI claimed to have seen most of the ball, and the statistics agreed with them - possession being 59 percent.

The coach of _BF_ was happy with the game so far, but still wanted to change the line up. After 46 minutes, S. Kolev came on for R. Anderssen. 58 minutes in, TOMI's D. Griūnas received a yellow card for going into a challenge studs first. The _BF_ players could smell victory in the air. R. Mitev wasn't in a hurry to leave the field as he was substituted for S. Hristoforov after 70 minutes. V. Sivkov received some harsh words from his coach after he acted foolishly 73 minutes into the match, probably out of lack of experience, and almost let an opponent score. L. Lalev left the field with a smile on his face as he was substituted 74 minutes into the game, as his team was in the lead. A. Grau was the replacement. A. Stoyanov increased the visitors' lead by putting a volley away after a pass from the right. 0 - 3. It took several tries, but TOMI managed to break through on the left after 80 minutes, getting the ball to S. Nakip who easily reduced the lead to make the score 1 - 3. TOMI had most of the ball, with 58 percent of possession.

The most dominating TOMI player was without a doubt G. Back. A. Sørloth turned in a dismal performance, however. Most important _BF_ player was G. Nikolov. On the other hand, A. Grau's play was disheartening. The match ends 1 - 3.
