Botev Plovdiv defeats Cherno More 1‑0 in First League

Botev Plovdiv earned its first victory of the 2026/27 season, beating Cherno More 1‑0 at the Hristo Botev stadium. The only goal came in the 23rd minute when Asen Chandarov converted a penalty after being fouled in the box. It was coach Stanislav Genchev’s ninth match in charge, and the win lifted Botev to four points in the league table.

Cherno More remained winless after three matches, despite creating several chances. Mid‑fielder Mohamed Ashi forced a save early, and later attempts from Selso Sidney and Carlos Meoti struck the cross‑bar. Goalkeeper Christian Tomov made multiple crucial saves, including a reflex stop from a long‑range effort by Franklin Maskote. The defeat left Cherno More with just one point.

Both sides will look to improve ahead of their next fixtures, with Botev hoping to build on the win and Cherno More seeking to end their early slump.
