PFC Levski Sofia secured a 2-2 draw at PFC Litex Lovech to move to the brink of the title in Bulgaria.
Two-goal lead
Levski are now six points clear of second-placed Litex with three games of the A PFG season remaining and a superior head-to-head record. It could have been so different had the hosts managed to hold on to the two-goal lead they had built up after Leonardo Enrique gave them a 31st-minute lead before Georgi Chilikov doubled the advantage after 62 minutes.
Levski comeback
The leaders showed their resolve and hit back eleven minutes later, Sasha Simonovich hauling them back into the game. Dede then snatched what could prove to be a priceless equaliser with nine minutes to go.
Derby win for Slavia
Goals from Georgi Georgiev (35) and Blagoi Georgiev (87) gave PFC Slavia Sofia a 2-0 win at local rivals PFC CSKA Sofia. PFC Lokomotiv Plovdiv also took maximum points, first-half goals from Mario Nunes and Rosen Petrov helping secure a 2-1 win against PFC Nafteks.
