Bulgaria Wins a Point in a Heroic and Controversial Match

Friday, 12 October, 11 p.m. The French referee had just blown his final whistle, and the Bulgarian team could congratulate itself on a point well earned.  Lyubo Penev's team got off to a good start and scored an early goal to confrim their advantage over the Danish side.  However, the French referee gave his precious contribution to the game by expelling Ivan Bandalovski.  After that, the Danes pressed the Bulgarian team and managed to score an equalizer till the end of the first half.  In the second half, the Bulgarian side showed exemplary defensive skills and did not allow Danmark to score another goal.  A controversy arised over the alleged racist cries of the Bulgarian side toward the Danish player Patrick Mtiliga.  The Danish football federation threatened to make a complaint to UEFA, in which case Bulgaria could be fined. This lastly happened last year, when we had to pay a fine of 40,000 euros because of insults toward the English players. 
Tomorrow, Bulgaria will engage the Czech Republic in a match of great importance. As of now, Bulgaria is on the second place in the group, followed by the Czech Republic and Armenia.  We wish our lads good luck and three points in Prague.
