Ghanaian forward Bernard Tekpetey played a decisive role as Ludogorets Razgrad edged past rivals Levski Sofia to lift the Bulgarian Super Cup.
Introduced in the 69th minute, the Black Stars attacker made an immediate impact, scoring the match-winning goal to secure a narrow but hard-fought victory for Ludogorets.
The Super Cup clash was played at a high tempo, with Ludogorets dominating possession for large spells but struggling to break down a disciplined Levski Sofia backline. Levski remained compact and looked dangerous on the counter, keeping the match finely balanced.
Clear chances were limited, and it ultimately required Tekpetey’s sharp movement and composed finish to break the deadlock and decide the encounter.
The goal secured Ludogorets’ ninth Bulgarian Super Cup title, reinforcing the club’s dominance in domestic football. It also marked the 27th major trophy in the club’s history, highlighting a prolonged era of success at both the local and continental levels.
Ludogorets now shift their focus back to league action, taking on PFC Lokomotiv Sofia 1929 next, buoyed by confidence from their Super Cup triumph.
