Goal after goal! CSKA won 4:0 against Botev (Vratsa)!

CSKA won 4:0 over Botev (Vratsa) in a match of the 20th round of efbet League.

Thus The Reds successfully started the spring semi-season in the championship, and two goals each were scored by Georgi Rusev and Aleksandar Kolev.

In the first 10 minutes of the match both teams failed to create clean scoring chances, with CSKA holding the initiative. Head coach Nikolay Kirov's team tried to keep the ball and gradually build their attacks, while the hosts often relied on long passes to their striker Bentahar.

In the 15th minute came the first accurate shot of the game when Vratsa's Nenov fired to Karadzhov's goal, but the keeper deflected with confidence. A little later, Bentahar tested his reflexes as well, with another save following.

Then came CSKA's double strike! Within just four minutes, The Reds scored two goals, which totally disheartened Botev (Vratsa). In the 22nd minute, after an excellent three-player combination on the right flank, Mario Topuzov found Vasil Shopov, who passed to Georgi Rusev in the penalty area. From close range, the CSKA number ten made no mistake for 1:0.

In the 26th minute, the striker Alexander Kolev took advantage of a mistake by the hosts' goalkeeper Kostov and scored his first goal for The Reds in his official debut for the team - 2:0!

Seven minutes before the end of the first half, CSKA made the score classic, after the captain Ivaylo Chochev passed elegantly to Kolev, who with a parallel pass found Rusev, and for the forward was left only to score his second goal in the match in front of an empty goal for 3:0.

At the very start of the second half, a shot by Vratsa's Nikolov met Karadzhov's left side post. However, this did not bother Nikolay Kirov's team in any way, who continued to attack confidently.

In the 59th minute another goal fell for The Reds. Aleksandar Kolev scored a second goal in his official debut for the team after he fired the ball with his right foot into Kostov's net - 4:0.

By the end of the match, most of the players on the CSKA bench got a chance to play. Mario Topuzov created himself a clear chance for a goal, shining with a great dribble between three players and a shot, but it was deflected by goalkeeper Kostov into a corner kick.

The pace of the game gradually dropped and the last whistle fixed the final score 4:0 and the strong start of the new half of the season for The Reds. In the next 21st round CSKA hosts Levski on Saturday (26.02) at 15:00 at "Vitosha" Stadium.
