The rejuvenated Bulgarian national football team finished their friendly away match versus Ukraine in a 1-1 draw.

In Odessa, the more experienced Ukrainian side dominated practically the entire match. After numerous misses by the Ukrainians, and a disallowed goal due to offside, in the 35th minute Bulgaria’s Radoslav Kirilov managed to score a goal. During the second half the Ukrainian side stepped up their offensive, and in the 79th minute Taras Stepanenko scored the equalizer.

In their last match for the year on 15 November, the Bulgarian side will play an away match versus Switzerland in their final qualifier for the World Cup in 2022.
