Bulgaria remains in League C of Nations League after a new loss from the Republic of Ireland

Bulgaria remains in League C of Nations League after a new loss from the Republic of Ireland


Bulgaria will continue to play in League C of the League of Nations after losing 1: 2 and a rematch of the playoffs against the Republic of Ireland. The script from Plovdiv three days ago repeated – the « lions » led the result, but allowed a complete reversal and thus missed the opportunity to climb the above division.

Bulgaria lost by 1: 2 to the Republic of Ireland

Breeder Ilian Iliev made a total of six changes in the starting staff of Bulgaria, such as Plamen Iliev, Simeon Petrov, Nikolay Minkov, Georgi Milanov, Valentin Antov and Bozhidar Kraev started instead of Dimitar Mitov, Alex Petkov, Zhivko Atanasov, Andrian Kraev, Philip Krastev and Lucas.

About 40,000 spectators attended Aviva Stadium, with 300 of them supporting the Bulgarian team. But the small agitation of the guests had reasons for joy in the 30th minute. Then Kiril Despodov, from the corner kick, uploaded the ball of Georgi Milanov’s will, whose blow ricocheted into a defender of the Irish and the ball became comfortable for Antov, who had a close found the result.

Even before the break, the Irish had a great chance to equalize, but a Jake O’Brien head hit was cleared of Simeon Petrov’s goal line. The beginning of the second half slowed down by 10 minutes, as Chief Judge Halil Umut Meller was injured and had to be replaced by Mehmet Turkman, who needed extra time to warm up.

In the 55th minute Petrov’s mistake in the middle of the pitch allowed Evan Ferguson to progress and shoot, but Plamen Iliev saved. Shortly thereafter, however, Ferguson leveled after a double submission with Finn Azaz and a powerful shot over Iliev’s plot. The full turn came five minutes before the end, when the Adam Ida reserve finished Irish counterattack.

Thus, the tradition is preserved, with Bulgaria continuing to win over the Republic of Ireland in Dublin. Which means that for the next edition of the League of Nations, the « lions » will again be in League C while the Irish have retained their place in the upper division.

After the meeting, Bulgaria’s breeder Ilian Iliev did not want to answer the question specifically will continue to lead the national team. « It doesn’t matter my desire, and it’s not the time to discuss the topic now. I also want to hear the Executive Committee’s opinion on March 28, but as I had the opportunity to say several times, don’t expect any miracles to happen, » Iliev said.

Ilian Iliev did not respond categorically if it will remain at the forefront of Bulgaria.
