In 24 minutes, Dimitrov struck again \u2014 this time exploiting a miscalculated rush by Georgian keeper Giorgi Mamardashvili. Dimitrov fed Filip Krastev, who hammered the ball into an open net to make it 2\u20130.
It was the kind of clinical counter-attacking play that Harambee Stars fans would love to see more often.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The second half saw Georgia awaken, led by European star Khvicha Kvaratskhelia. Dimitar Mitov was forced into brilliant saves, especially on Giorgi Kvilitaia\u2019s threatening strike. Luka Lochoshvili eventually pulled one back late, but it was too little, too late.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Bulgaria\u2019s Long-Awaited Relief<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

This victory marks the first win for manager Aleksandar Dimitrov and Bulgaria\u2019s first in over a year. While it doesn\u2019t erase the heartbreak of missing another World Cup \u2014 their last appearance being in 1998 \u2014 it marks a new dawn.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
