It was the 58th minute. After a foul in midfield, the Bulgarians quickly took a free kick. They exchanged a few passes and Marin Petkov received the ball at about the thirty-meter mark. The Bulgarian decided to shoot quickly with the first ball on the ground. Kacper Tobiasz threw himself at the ball, but was unable to reach it. There probably wouldn’t have been a goal if it wasn’t for the passive behavior of one of the weakest players in our team – Filip Marchwiński. The Lech Poznań striker gave up marking Petkov.

Poland U-21 failed and unexpectedly lost to Bulgaria
The Poles, who needed a victory to get closer to advancing to the European Youth Championships, were unable to make up for the losses after losing a goal. They lacked quality in attack. The changes made by coach Adam Majewski also did not help. The White and Reds did not create any 100% from the 0:1 score. occasion. What’s more, from that moment on they didn’t shoot on target!
The first half was completely forgettable. The Poles were unable to find the right rhythm of the game, they played chaotically and had a lot of inaccurate passes. The first goal was scored after a corner kick only in the 40th minute (Kacper Urbañski). The White and Reds’ game lacked quality, aggressiveness, team action and the element of surprise.
The guests were closer to the lead until the break. In the seventh minute, the guests put on high pressure, Łukasz Bejger made a bad kick, Shopov took it over, passed it to his friend at the fourth meter, who shot, but it was brilliantly blocked twice by Ariel Mosór.
After this defeat, the Poles are still the leader of the group, but they have significantly complicated their chances of taking first place. They have 15 points, two more than the Germans, but also two more games played. The Bulgarians are third (12 points).
The Reds and Whites will play three matches until the end of the qualifying round – away against Bulgaria (September 10), Kosovo (October 11) and at home against Germany (October 15).
