Neftochimic lost 1-0 at home to Dimitrovgrad in round 15 of the South-East Third League. Momchil Kirkov scored the winner in the 64th minute.
Georgi Georgiev passed to Kirkov, who beat goalkeeper Velichkov. The Neftochimic keeper made several more saves, and the visitors could have scored more.
The club said it was one of the team's weakest games of the season: too many mistakes and not one clear chance in front of the visitors' goal.
Neftochimic played without many regular starters. Todor Petrov and Stilyan Krastev were suspended, while Galin Dimov, Gencho Dalev and Kristiyan Ilchev are injured. In the second half, Nedelin Manolov, born in 2009, made his debut for the Burgas side, coming on for Pavel Tachev.
It rained almost all game at the Lazur stadium. The match began with a minute's silence for the victims of the pile-up on the Trakia motorway and for Drazho Stoyanov, a legendary goalkeeper of the Burgas club, who died aged 73.
