Bulgarian national football team loses 0–1 to Montenegro in a friendly match

The Bulgarian national football team lost 0–1 to Montenegro in a friendly match in Plovdiv. Balša Sekulić scored the only goal of the match in the 68th minute, taking advantage of a collective mistake by three Bulgarian defenders.

Montenegro was without its main stars, although the same applies to Bulgaria. Kiril Despodov and Ilia Gruev are recovering after surgeries, while injuries sidelined six more key players.

The defeat to Montenegro was Bulgaria’s third in a row. On Friday, Bulgaria will play an away game against Moldova, while Montenegro will travel to Košice to face Slovakia, BTA reports.
