The match was played in Sofia and the guests scored the only goal in the 52nd minute of the game. In Group B only Italy qualified for the World Cup. Denmark took the second place but still could not qualify for the playoffs, as there are just eight spots from nine play-off groups.

The team of Litex won 4:2 against Ludogoretz and the two teams topped the temporary chart with 28 points each. In the same round Lokomotiv won 3:1 against Slavia.
