Preview

Bulgaria National Football Team took on Cyprus National Football Team in a friendly match on June 6. It’s full-time, and the match ended in a 2-2 draw.

On the 27th minute, Aleksandar Kolev netted the first goal of the match, handing Bulgaria the advantage. Nicolas Koutsakos and Konstantinos Laifis then scored as Kolev delivered another one goal, bringing the match to a 2-2 conclusion.

Tensions run high as Bulgaria and Cyprus prepare to meet again, 3 years after the previous friendly encounter that concluded in a 0-2 victory for Bulgaria. Bulgaria are in a rough patch, heading into this clash after suffering defeats to Ireland, marking three games without a single win. Resolving issues at the back will be vital for improvement, particularly since they've had trouble holding their opponents at bay, with goals conceded across three consecutive matches.

Cyprus are preparing for the match after a loss against Bosnia and Herzegovina in the Europe Qualification Group round on March 24. Their backline remains a concern, conceding goals in their last three away matches in a row.

This friendly clash shines a light on the players who have played crucial roles in creating and converting chances for Bulgaria National Football Team and Cyprus National Football Team in this campaign. Bulgaria’s attacking options, under the tactical direction of Ilian Iliev, have been bolstered by Marin Plamenov, the team’s top scorer, and Kiril Despodov, both of whom have contributed crucial goals and assists. Plamenov has led Bulgaria’s scoring efforts this term with one goal and one assist in all competitions, which also underscores his status as the team’s most creative player. Andrian Kraev, Vasil Panayotov and Valentin Antov have also played key roles, contributing with goals and assists to fuel Bulgaria’s attack.

Meanwhile, Cyprus’s offensive unit, with Akis Mantzios steering the side, has leaned on Ioannis Pittas, their main scorer, and Marinos Tzionis, as they continue to drive the team’s attacking efforts forward. Pittas has been Cyprus’s standout performer across all competitions, netting two goals, as Tzionis tops the team’s assist charts with one decisive pass leading to goal. Supporting them are Grigoris Kastanos, Charis Kyriakou and Loizos Loizou, who have also chipped in with important goals and assists, adding depth to Cyprus’s attack.
