Article body
PFC Lokomotiv Sofia are close to confirming their place in the Bulgarian Professional League after moving four points clear at the top of the bottom eight play-off with a 1-0 victory at PFC Belasitsa.
Donev scores only goal
Doncho Donev scored the only goal in the 40th minute despite his side spending much of the first half on the defensive against their lowly hosts.
Varna denied by Dobrev
PFC Cherno More look to be in deep trouble after being held 1-1 at home to PFC Spartak Varna, and the visitors were unlucky not to get away with a victory after only losing the lead to a last-minute Kristian Dobrev equaliser, following Emil Kremenliev’s first-half penalty.
Beroe ten points adrift
Bottom-placed PFC Beroe are in an even more serious position after a 1-1 home draw with PFC Spartak Pleven left them ten points adrift. Pleven are third in the group, but only two points ahead of seventh-placed PFC Chernomorets Burgas, whose game also finished 1-1 at PFC Marek.
