Sunday, the 29th of November 2020, 2.30 pm local time (12.30 pm UTC), Angel Kanchev Stadium, Tryavna, Bulgaria, the 17th round of the Bulgarian Third League, North-West Group (Severozapadna Treta Liga).
The young OFK Tryavna team, last classified in the North-West Group of the Bulgarian Third League, produced the surprise of the last round before the winter break, winning 2-1 over Spartak Pleven, one of the candidates for promotion. It is interesting to note that Tryavna was unable to get at least one point from the previous four matches, against more ”accessible” teams, but did win unexpectedly in this round, to make their supporters happy before the winter celebrations.
Spartak Pleven had lots of opportunities, but it was the host team which was more efficient in front of the goal. OFK Tryavna took the lead after a corner, as Pleven's goalkeeper Dimitar Visochkov misjudged the ball and allowed Vasil Andreev to head it in: 1-0 (28'). A few minutes later, Hristo Tsonev could have doubled Tryavna's advantage, but was denied by Visochkov.
In the second half, Spartak Pleven started very strongly, decided to turn the match in their favour. The equalizer came also as a result of a corner, as Ivo Varbanov headed for 1-1 (53'). The pressure intensified, but Tryavna's defence resisted. After missing several opportunities, Spartak Pleven remained in ten men, as Stephen Slavkov received a second yellow card and was sent off (65'). This eased things up for OFK Tryavna, which started again to look for a winning goal. Despite missing a good chance, Hristo Tsonev eventually found the winning shot, which took a deflection out of a Pleven defender and tricked Visochkov: 2-1 (80').
