Pirin started its preparations for the new season with success 2:0 against the rookie in the Second League Dobrudja (Dobrich). The control was played on the official field of Albena resort and was broadcast live on Pirin TV on our official Facebook page, and on our official YouTube channel.
First half
Our team took the lead in the 8th minute. Preslav Yordanov was fouled on the edge of the penalty area, and the veteran Vladislav Zlatinov shot the goalkeeper of Dobrudja from a direct free kick, sending the ball technically along the wall. After the beautiful goal of Zlatinov Pirin continued to dominate.
In the 17th minute Arhan Isuf shot dangerously, but his jester went over the door, and two minutes later Ivan Tasev stole the ball and invaded the penalty area, but failed to fire.
In the 27th minute Isuf centered beautifully from the left and Krassimir Stanoev, who joined from the second position, caught the ball in the net from close range for 2:0.

In the 66th minute George Oakley shot from a distance, and two minutes later Spas Georgiev kicked past the door. In the 74th minute Bastunov shot with his head after a cross by Conor Henderson, but his blow went past the door. This was also the best position for our team after the break.
