In the 10th round, CSKA 1948 secured a 2-1 comeback victory against Slavia Sofia. Slavia took an early lead in the 38th minute via an Ivan Minchev penalty following a VAR intervention. Georgi Rusev equalized for CSKA 1948 shortly after the start of the second half. In the 83rd minute, Atanas Iliev converted a penalty awarded after a VAR review of a foul outside the box. A late goal by Slavia’s Vladimir Nikolov was disallowed for offside, leaving CSKA 1948 in fourth place with 20 points and Slavia Sofia in seventh with 12 points.

Ludogorets remains in second place with 23 points, while CSKA Sofia follows in third with 20 points.
