Ludogorets secures 2-0 win over Dunav Ruse to lead Bulgarian First League
Ludogorets Razgrad defeated Dunav Ruse 2‑0 in the second round of the Bulgarian First League. Bernard Tekpetey opened the scoring in the 14th minute after an Alberto Salido cross, and Ruan Kruz added a second goal shortly after the restart, recorded at the 47th minute.
The victory lifted Ludogorets to six points, matching Levski on the league table but giving the club a superior goal‑difference advantage. Head coach Thomas Rees said he was dissatisfied with his side’s first‑half performance, describing the display as “dry” and “error‑prone,” yet he considered the win deserved and stressed the need for improvement ahead of the upcoming Conference League match against Apollon Tel Aviv.
Ludogorets now sit joint‑first in the league, continuing a perfect start to the season.
