Inhumen 0 - 1 Beroe (393023665)

The 46147 spectators at Welcome to hell were in for an afternoon of sunshine. Enrique Azurmendi was the appointed referee with assistance provided by Torvald Drakwald and Angelantonio Benati. People from all over Sofia had joined up for the derby. Inhumen had chosen a strategic 3-5-2 formation. The following players had been chosen: Apostolov - Ipiñazar, Yonevski, Mladenov - Bandi, Mihov, Lefterov, Régnier, Paunov - Tcherbanenko, Roukko.

Beroe decided to use a 4-5-1 set up. The following players took the field: Ćwięczek - den Toom, Fossanova, Minkov, Vilček - Terruzzi, Serrano Rubiera, Vasile, Salemenopoulos, Thaunhausen - Suntay.

Several players seemed a little dazed by the warm weather, and were repeatedly tricked by the clever and agile I. Minkov. The guests almost went up by a goal after 15 minutes when F. Serrano Rubiera came through and shot from the right. The ball bounced harmlessly off the post, though. With 25 minutes showing on the scoreboard, Inhumen had a chance to take the lead after being awarded a penalty, but S. Lefterov's shot was blocked by W. Ćwięczek. 0 - 0 was the score after the first half. Possession in this half belonged to Inhumen, who controlled the ball 57 percent of the time.

After a fine move down the middle A. Tcherbanenko nearly gave the home side a goal after 58 minutes. However the finishing shot went just wide. The coach of Beroe wanted to try to change things around after 63 minutes, and gave new tactical instructions. S. Bandi wasn't much help defensively. His energy-consuming forward runs proved quite costly in the oppressive heat. Some quick footwork on the left side of the field 79 minutes into the match left Beroe's A. Suntay completely free to score. 0 - 1 for the visitors. Inhumen claimed to have seen most of the ball, and the statistics agreed with them - possession being 58 percent.

The most dominating Inhumen player was without a doubt F. Yonevski. On the other hand, V. Roukko's play was disheartening. Beroe's top performer was clearly I. Minkov. W. Ćwięczek was a disappointment, however. The match ends 0 - 1.
