Bulgaria's football team has defeated Azerbaijan in a UEFA EURO 2016 Qualifiers match which grants it the fourth place in its group.

Before an audience of only a few hundred who watched the game at the Vasil Levski National Stadium in Sofia, the Bulgarians dominated for most of the time, showing more skills than in the previous few matches.
On Saturday, the national team lost to Croatia 0:3, dashing even the tiniest hope to qualify.
Italy and Croatia are the two teams in Bulgaria's group that have qualified directly for EURO 2016, while third-placed Norway made it to the play-offs.

UEFA Inspects Stara Zagora for Hosting Bulgaria's 2018 World Cup Qualifiers
Representatives of the Bulgarian Football Union (BFS) and UEFA carried out an inspection of Beroe stadium in the Bulgarian city of Stara Zagora on Wednesday.
The goal of the inspection was to establish whether the stadium meets the requirements for hosting some of the qualification matches for the 2018 FIFA World Cup in Russia.
The idea of having several cities to host matches of the Bulgarian men's national football team rather than just the capital Sofia is part of the strategic plan of the Bulgarian Football Union (BFS) announced earlier this year.
The stadium in Stara Zagora was one of the four Bulgarian venues hosting the UEFA European Under-17 Championship in May and hosts matches of the junior national teams.
Following Bulgaria's failure to qualify for UEFA EURO 2016 in France after finishing fourth in group H, the men's national team has to concentrate on the forthcoming qualifications for the World Cup in Russia.
The draw determined Bulgaria in qualification group A along with the teams of the Netherlands, France, Sweden, Belarus and Luxembourg.

One goal and missed penalty for Dimitar Berbatov in PAOK 3 - Iraklis 3
Berbatov still scored one of the goals for his team in the 65th minute. The Greek media describe him as the "fatal player" in the match because of the penalty kick he missed in the 90th minute, which could have decided the match in favour of PAOK. "We deserved victory but it is better to leave with one point than without any point at all. Our team is young, such things happen, we had no luck, but it is over now and we are looking forward to the next match," he summarised.

Crowds of Football Fans Protest Urging Bulgaria Govt to Help Their Team
At least 2000 supporters of Bulgaria's CSKA football club on took to the streets of downtown Sofia on Sunday to protest against what they describe as unfair policies applied to the team.
Gathering for a rally which finished in front of Parliament, they called on the government to extend a hand to their team which has been in a dire financial situation after being officially declared insolvent.
The team's financial situation has been subject to many questions over the past years, with this year's insolvency and long-standing debts preventing it from playing in the domestic A group and European tournaments.
Plamen Markov, CEO at CSKA and a former national coach, also took part in the rally. In front of Parliament he declared that it was unclear why the national football body had granted a license to CSKA all those years despite its debt problem.
Earlier, Prime Minister Boyko Borisov had met with representatives of CSKA fans to discuss the situation.
"I told them I can help with whatever they want. But I can't pay their taxes. I can't write them off. If there were a loophole in the law, I would have used it and paid. But it can't happen, tax [obligations] are in force until death," the website Dnevnik.bg quoted him as saying.
Prior to the demonstration, fans "reenacted" at their team's official stadium in Sofia a match against the Vitosha Bistritsa football club that failed to take place.
Vitosha Bistritsa FC refused to play and this awarded three points to CSKA, with the former team's coach telling media he feared the match could become "politicized" and followed by unrest.
It is Vitosha Bistritsa where Borisov was a registered player some years ago.
The team was also embroiled in a scandal in 2012 for having used a government plane.
