Bulgaria’s national football team lost at home to Kosovo by 2-3.

This is the 4th match in a row without a win for the Bulgarian side. The team of Kosovo took the lead and Bulgaria equalized at the end of the first half. In the 55th minute the Bulgarians scored, taking a 2-1 lead, but Kosovo, the more aggressive team throughout the match, drew in the 64th minute ultimately winning the match with a goal in the 92nd minute.

Now the Bulgarian team does not stand even a theoretical chance of playing at Euro 2020. After the defeat captain Ivelin Popov admitted that Kosovo had been the better, more aggressive team.
