Tekpetey Strikes Late as Ludogorets Edge Levski to Bulgarian Super Cup Glory

Ghanaian forward Bernard Tekpetey was the match-winner as Ludogorets Razgrad claimed the Bulgarian Super Cup with a narrow 1–0 victory over Levski Sofia at the Vasil Levski Stadium.

Introduced from the bench in the 69th minute, Tekpetey wasted no time announcing his presence. Just a minute later, he rose powerfully to head home from a pinpoint cross by Son, delivering the decisive goal in the 70th minute.
The final was a tightly fought contest.

Ludogorets enjoyed close to 60% possession but managed only three shots on target, while Levski Sofia also created opportunities, especially during an open and energetic second half.

Although Per-Mathias Högmo’s side had chances to extend their lead, they were unable to find a second goal. Still, Tekpetey’s header proved enough, as Ludogorets secured their ninth Bulgarian Super Cup and the 27th trophy in the club’s history—also marking Högmo’s first silverware since taking charge.

Levski Sofia threw men forward in the closing stages and during five minutes of added time, but Ludogorets held firm with disciplined defending to see out the win.

Attention now shifts back to league action, with Ludogorets set to travel to face PFC Lokomotiv Sofia 1929 on Saturday, February 7.
