Spartak Pleven won in a dramatic fight in Samokov against Rilski Sportist with only 1 point – 68-67. Just after the last signal, the hosts made a contestation. Nine seconds to go Rilski Sportist had the ball and their opponents were leading by one point. Mirkovic missed and Gruev did the same twice, but after that grabbed the ball and made a tap in. According to the referees this action was with no time left on the board and thus the game finished in favour of Pleven.

The home team pretended for an identical basket situation at the end of the first period when they annulled a basket by the young Martin Marinov giving the same explanation – the shot was after the signal.

No matter what happened, Rilski Sportist should regret for losing that fight because they were leading by 13 points (65-52) 5 minutes 45 seconds before the end. From that moment on, the hosts scored only 2 points against 16 for their opponents.

Excellent game had Hrisimir Dimitrov who played without substitution the whole 40 minutes. He finished with 24 points and 9 rebounds. Ilia Stankov came from the bench and scored 13 points. The Serbians in the lines of Spartak Milos Zivanovic and Vladimir Joic made their debut with the jerseys of Pleven and spent 16 minutes on the court. The third Serbian in the squad - Milan Oluijc - did not take part at all, while Aleksandr Kalan was not even in the roster.

Two other Serbians – Branko Mirkovic and Miko Golubovic – played their first game in the championship for Rilski Sportist, and they were much more of use to their team, but that was not enough for the final success. Mirkovic scored 16 points and Golubovic added 14 points and 8 rebounds. The national player Aleksander Gruev and Matrin Marinov ended with 10 points each.

In the next round Rilski Sportist faces Levski in Sofia, while Pleven is again a guest, but this time they will be guests of the champion Lukoil Academic in Pravets.
