Bulgarian A-League wrap: CSKA keep pressure on Levski

CSKA Sofia kept up the pressure on second-placed Levski Sofia with a 2-0 win over Minyor Pernik on Saturday in the Bulgarian A-League.

Michel Platini scored a brace in the win, scoring the opener in first-half stoppage time and adding a second 11 minutes after the interval to draw his side to within three points of Levski.

Levski have played one game fewer but take on the league-leading Litex Lovech on Sunday.

Elsewhere on Saturday, Lokomotiv Plovdiv moved a point clear of Cherno More in fifth place with a 2-2 draw at home against Pirin Blagoevgrad.

The visitors took a 2-0 lead courtesy of goals from Dimitar Iliev and Ivan Cvetkov, but Plovdiv hit back through strikes from Youness Bengelloun and Gabor Eros to ensure a share of the spoils.
