Match

Cruel end for Slavia Sofia as Montana pounce

There is no crueller way to lose a football match. Montana scored in the 92th minute, the restart barely happened, and the away end was still standing when the whistle went.

Player ratings

Boris Dimitrov scores twice — 7.96

Two goals and a mark of 7.96 to go with them. Strikers are judged on afternoons like this one and remembered for far fewer of them than people imagine.

Player ratings

Philip Ejike runs at them all day

Successful dribbles: 29. There is a particular sort of despair on a full-back's face by the seventieth minute, and it was on display.

Squad

Matyáš Šilhavý says Montana went back on their word

“I was told what my role would be, and I signed on that basis. It has not happened.” A grievance with a date attached is the hardest kind to settle.

Squad

Tempers go at Montana

Endy Opoku Bernadina was at the centre of it, and by the time it was pulled apart there were three or four others involved. Training grounds are small places and long seasons make them smaller.

Match

Montana see off Slavia Sofia

Three points for Montana, 2‑1 the final word against Slavia Sofia in a contest settled by the finer margins.

Player ratings

Christopher Acheampong runs at them all day

Successful dribbles: 35. There is a particular sort of despair on a full-back's face by the seventieth minute, and it was on display.

Match

Montana out of the cup

Botev Plovdiv ended it 1‑2. The season narrows to the league now, and everyone in the ground knew it before the final whistle.

Market

Ibrahim Muhammad asks to leave Montana

“I have given everything here and I need a new challenge.” The request is formal, and the relationship will never be quite the same again.

Match

No end in sight to Montana's wait for a win

5 matches now without a victory, and the excuses have worn thinner than the patience. Somebody at Montana has to find a result from somewhere.

Player ratings

Up for the corner, and Kostadin Iliev delivers — 7.76

Centre-halves are allowed forward twice a season and are judged on what they do when they get there. Kostadin Iliev scored, was marked 7.76, and got back before anybody noticed he had gone.

Squad

Ivan Kokonov in a row with a teammate

It was not about football and everybody who saw it knows that. Two men who have to play together on Saturday said things at Montana this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Squad

Aleksandar Todorov falls out with a teammate over standards

The oldest argument in any dressing room and the only one that is genuinely about football: one man thinks another is not putting enough in. It is also the row a manager privately does not mind having happened.

Squad

No hiding place for Anton Tungarov

“I pick players who do the work. All of it.” No name was spoken; every camera still turned to Anton Tungarov, and the manager let it.

Squad

Montana pick somebody else ahead of Ibrahim Muhammad

There is no complaint available here and everybody involved knows it, which does not make the walk to the bench any shorter. Form is the only currency in football that cannot be borrowed against.
