Pirin won his last friendly match before the start of the championship in the Second League. At the “Hristo Botev” stadium, the “eaglets” has beaten with 2:0 Arda (Kardjali) who finished eighth last season in the First League.
Both goals were scored by Anton Karachanakov, who has found the net in the second half with a long shot in the 60th minute and a penalty in the 80th minute. Karachanakov finished the preseason with four goals on his name, after scoring twice against Pirin (Razlog) earlier this month. Our team played for the first time with the new kits, which will soon be available in our Fan Shop in Blagoevgrad, as well as in our online store https://fcpirin.com/shop/.
Stanislav Manolev made his second debut for the club, entering on the field in the 63rd minute in place of John Aina.
Keeper Petrov Petrov played his first match at the goal during the preparation after an injury which kept him out of the training sessions in the last month.
On Friday, August 7, at 17:45, our team will play Hebar (Pazardzhik) in a match of the first round of the new season in the Second League. The game is away to Pazardzhik.
