In this Second League clash, FC Dunav Ruse showed superior composure and capitalized on their early momentum to secure a 2-1 victory over FC Lokomotiv Gorna Oryahovitsa. Dunav Ruse's tactical approach paid dividends in the first half as they seized a two-goal lead just before halftime, with their goals coming close together in the 44th and 47th minutes. Their effective early aggression placed them in a comfortable position, and despite Lokomotiv's efforts to mount a comeback, Dunav's initial burst proved decisive.

Statistically speaking, Dunav Ruse's ability to win corner kicks, recording seven compared to just one for Lokomotiv, highlighted their persistent offensive pressure and territorial advantage throughout the match. Despite this pressure, Lokomotiv managed to keep the scoreline within reach thanks to a defense resilient enough to fend off further threats. However, their limited corner count indicates a struggle to transition and maintain sustained offensive pressure, especially in the first half.

The discipline of both teams was an area of concern, with a total of seven yellow cards being distributed—three to Dunav and four to Lokomotiv. Lokomotiv's four bookings included one each side of the half-time interval, hampering their efforts to break Dunav's rhythm effectively as they had to remain cautious to avoid further bookings. Dunav's ability to maintain discipline in key instances allowed them to focus on maintaining their lead primarily through structured defensive play in the second half, managing to prevent Lokomotiv from converting offensive pressure into clear opportunities.
