Levski Sofia and NEC Nijmegen draw 1-1 in Europa League
Levski Sofia and NEC Nijmegen played to a 1-1 draw in their UEFA Europa League group stage match in the Netherlands. Levski took the lead in the 36th minute when Reinaldo scored following a pass from Svetoslav Vutsov.
In the second half, NEC equalized in the 64th minute after a significant error by Levski goalkeeper Svetoslav Vutsov, who misplayed a pass that allowed NEC captain Tjaron Chery to score into an empty net. Despite several chances for both sides, including a disallowed goal for Levski due to offside, the match ended in a stalemate.
This result provides Levski Sofia with their first point in the main phase of the tournament after a previous loss to RB Salzburg. NEC Nijmegen also earns a point following a heavy defeat against Juventus earlier in the competition.
