Bulgarian A-League wrap: Lovech finish in style

Litex Lovech signed off on their victorious Bulgarian A-League campaign against Kaliakra on Friday, while Garra Dembele added to his haul.

Having already clinched their fourth domestic title, Lovech were content to ride out a goal-less draw at home to Kaliakra, taking their tally for the season to 75 points from 30 points.

They finish three points clear of Levski Sofia, who ended their season on a high with a 3-0 thrashing of FK Montana.

Veselin Minev (31) and Hristo Yovov (66) scored either side of Dembele, whose goal in the 64th minute took the Malian striker’s haul for the season to an impressive 27 goals.

CSKA Sofia, who had already wrapped up third place on the table and the second Europa League spot, defeated relegation-bound Akademik Sofia 3-1.

Akademik’s hopes of securing a relegation play-off were dashed when Vidima-Rakovski defeated Pirin Blagoevgrad 2-1 to finish 14th on the table.

In other results, Lokomotiv Plovdiv held on to fourth place with a come-from -behind 2-1 win at Chernomorets Burgas.

Lokomotiv Sofia pipped Slavia Sofia 1-0, Cherno More Varna defeated Beroe Stara Zagora 1-0 and Minyor Pernik thumped bottom-place Sliven 2000 3-0.
