2001 - that was the year when one of the two grands of the Bulgarian football was measuring its power against Spartak on the Central Stadium in Pleven. Then, in front of the 18 000 spectators, CSKA and Spartak made a tough 0:0 which still was not enough for the team from Pleven to retain its place in "A" Professional Leaugue.
This saturday the team from Pleven was reborn. At noon, 15 000 viewers were waiting for the first blow of the referee. Spartak(Pleven), which is presently playing in "V" League, was facing the team of CSKA(Sofia), which this year is heading for a golden double. Everybody expected that CSKA would start with their attacks from the first minute, but it was actually for Spartak that took the initiative in the first minutes. A shot from Rudashki from Spartak passed a few centimetres away from the left bar of M'Bolhi. With the time the more experienced team of CSKA took the initiative, and the logical thing happened when in the 20th minute Boris Galchev from CSKA scored a breathtaking goal from 25 metres. The footballers of Spartak tried to respond to this goal, but they were lacking concentration and experience in front of the enemie's goal, and in the 38th minute Rudashki again missed the goal after a mistake in the defense of CSKA. In the second half, CSKA managed to score another two goals through Krachunov and Stoyanov, which came after a static situations.
None of the fans of Spartak(Pleven) were dissapointed from the loss, because the team, which is composed entirely from boys under 21 years, played really well against the present cup holder, and showed everybody that it deserves its place in the professional footbal.
