CSKA 1948 draws 2-2 with Spartak Varna after sluggish first half

CSKA 1948 and Spartak Varna finished the opening round of Bulgaria's First League level on points, sharing a 2‑2 draw at Spartak's home ground. CSKA 1948 head coach Alexander Alexandrov highlighted the team's poor performance in the first half, saying, "The problem was the first half we played very weakly," and downplayed the controversy over a disallowed goal.
