Levski Sofia saw off Septemvri Sofia 3-0 in the third round of the First League on Saturday. The hosts have not dropped a point in eight games, winning them all, while Septemvri sit ninth with eight points after two wins and two draws. By then, the pattern was already clear, though the evening would still throw up its own surprises.
A. Bouras opened the scoring at the 34th minute, and the visitors' discipline began to fray. Y. Baurenski picked up a yellow card three minutes later, and the game shifted into a different gear. Levski controlled the tempo without rush, and here's the thing — they did not need to force it.
Substitutions came in waves as Septemvri tried to find a foothold. A. Liberal was replaced at 46', followed by A. Mitkov at 56' and D. Kusso at 67'. A. Oko-Flex added Levski's second goal at 76', and Serginho sealed the result just three minutes later. Septemvri had nothing to do all evening, and the yellow cards — Oko-Flex at 70', and another at 90+3' — told their own story.
The statistics reflect what anyone watching would have seen. Levski registered 114 attacks compared to 58, held 63% possession, and landed six shots on target against Septemvri's zero. Shots accuracy sat at 0.43 for the hosts, while Septemvri managed nothing from their attempts. To be fair, the visitors simply could not find a path through.
Levski now sit top of the table with 24 points from eight games, unbeaten and undefeated. Septemvri remain in ninth with eight points, four defeats already in the ledger. The gap between them is not just numerical — it is structural.
