# CSKA Sofia wins Super Cup in Yanev's final match > Live situation record from CLSTR: https://clstr.news/situations/cska-sofia-fan-protests-following-europa-league-exit > Updated: 2026-09-10T09:10:00.000Z. Sources: 16. Developments: 5. Following CSKA Sofia’s exit from the Europa League after losing to OFI Crete with a 0-5 aggregate score, supporters organized as Sector G have demanded the dismissal of head coach Hristo Yanev. In a statement, the fans described the team’s performance as “idealless and soulless” and argued that the players' conduct failed to reflect the club’s identity. While initial reports suggested the club intended to dismiss Yanev to pursue a more “attacking and dominant brand of football,” Yanev has since announced his resignation. He stated that the upcoming Bulgarian Super Cup final against Levski Sofia will be his final match leading the team. Yanev cited intense pressure and a “war” being waged against him and the club as the primary reasons for his departure. In his final match at the Vasil Levski National Stadium, CSKA Sofia secured the Bulgarian Super Cup with a 4-2 comeback victory against Levski Sofia. Although Levski took an early lead in the 40th minute through Serginho, CSKA dominated the second half. Joel Zwarc (also referred to as Schwarz) equalized in the 49th minute following a VAR review, with Stefano Sensi adding a goal from a penalty. Zwarc later scored his second goal, and an own goal by Aldair extended the lead to 4-1 before Everton Bala scored a late penalty for Levski. The match was characterized by high tension, resulting in two red cards in the 80th minute for Max Ebong and Kristian Dimitrov following a confrontation. Following the win, Yanev confirmed his resignation, leaving the club having secured the most trophies in the 21st century, including two Bulgarian Cups and this Super Cup. Disciplinary controversy has since emerged regarding the sanctions following the match. ## Timeline ### 2026-09-10: CSKA Sofia wins Bulgarian Super Cup amid disciplinary controversy CSKA Sofia won the Bulgarian Super Cup 4-2 against Levski Sofia, but the club is protesting a three-match ban for Max Ebong, calling the disciplinary rulings a “shocking double standard.” 9 sources. https://clstr.news/cluster/cska-sofia-wins-bulgarian-super-cup-with-4-2-comeback-victory ### 2026-09-08: CSKA Sofia wins Bulgarian Super Cup after 4-2 comeback against Levski CSKA Sofia defeated Levski Sofia 4-2 to win the Bulgarian Super Cup.
