Slavia Sofia met Levski Sofia at the Alexander Shalamanov Stadium on Tuesday evening, and the visitors took all three points in the First League's regular season fifth round. The final score read 1:2.
Slavia struck first when Emil Stoev found the net in the fifty-seventh minute. Armstrong Oko-Flex equalised for Levski seven minutes later, and Juan Perea completed the turnaround in the seventy-sixth.
The match featured a flurry of changes around the hour mark, with Levski bringing on four players in the sixty-seventh minute. Slavia responded with two substitutions in the seventy-fourth, while a yellow card for Vladimir Miletic in the forty-fifth showed the physical nature of the contest.
By then the statistics told the fuller story. Levski dominated possession at sixty-three per cent and registered four shots on target compared to Slavia's single attempt. The visitors also won four corners to Slavia's one, though Slavia's goalkeeper kept them in the game for long stretches.
To be fair, the result reflected the league position. Levski sit top of the table with eighteen points from six wins, while Slavia occupy eighth place on seven points after one loss and four draws.
