Beroe Does It Again

What's up with Beroe beating the big guns in Bulgaria, and in important matches, too?

Of course, three years ago, Ludogorets was not a big gun, either. But they are now, though, after winning two titles in a row.

And Beroe won the cup and the super cup.

Possibly another big gun in the future?
Stara Zagora, the town where Beroe plays, is larger than Razgrad, so that's a start...

But, getting back to the match, Beroe played very well.

Highlights:

Bulgaria - UEFA Club Competitions Participants - 2013-2014

Ludogorets Razgrad --> Champions League Second Qualifying Round
Levski Sofia --> Europa League First Qualifying Round
Botev Plovdiv --> Europa League First Qualifying Round
Beroe Stara Zagora --> Europa League Second Qualifying Round

Note: CSKA Sofia was excluded from European competitions, by UEFA, due to debts.

Crazy Penalties

Nobody expected Levski Sofia to not win the Bulgarian Cup final against a Beroe team hovering around mid-table.

But the minnows took a 1-0 lead, and then a 3-1 lead, which they held until 10 minutes from the end. Only then the would-be champions woke up.

Levski tied the score, with 3 minutes to spare, but they could not win it in extra time.

And, when it comes to penalties, it's all up for grabs.

There were penalty misses left and right. The Levski team missed their first three penalties! (Their coach must have been going nuts!...)

So, Beroe, against all odds, win the Bulgarian Cup. They might play Levski again, in the Super Cup; that is, if Ludogorets does not win the title.
