In the 61st minute Vander Vieira received a great pass by Galchev and 1 on 1 against Slavia’s keeper Petkov gave Botev the lead. In the next minutes Botev could score even more goals, but great opportunities were missed by Cvetkov, Romario and Ognyanov – who returned at play after few minutes off the field due to injury.
