Match Recap

CSKA Sofia avenged their only previous defeat to Cherno More Varna with authority, building a commanding 2-0 lead inside half an hour through Sensi (20') and second-ranked First League scorer Zwarts (30'). Cherno More pulled one back through Sidney just before the break to threaten a second-half fight, but the visitors arrived at the Georgi Asparuhov Stadium having lost four straight, and CSKA's fourth-ranked scorer Godoy sealed it in the 86th minute. With four wins from five games and 13 points, CSKA Sofia are the form side of the Bulgarian First League's early season, and Godoy's late finish is the one worth watching.
