The return match between Levski, Bulgaria and Shkupi, North Macedonia from the second preliminary round of the Conference League was played at Georgi Asparuhov stadium in Sofia last night without incident.

UEFA had instructed Levski not to sell tickets to the match in Sofia to fans from North Macedonia because of the aggression during the first match in Skopje, when a Bulgarian fan of Levski was stabbed.

The first Levski-Shkupi match ended in 2-0, last night’s match was again won by Levski – with a last-minute goal. Thus, with a 3-0 aggregate, Levski qualifies for the third qualification round where it will play versus Hapoel Be'er Sheva, Israel.

Meanwhile the Bulgarian fan Dragomir Andonov, who was stabbed in Skopje, has been transported back to Bulgaria by the state aviation operator and is now in intensive care at the Military Medical Academy. His condition is described as stable, with no risk to his life.
