Jordan Thompson is the man standing over it but his strike sums up the second-half.
It's a terrible strike and it's almost cleared the stadium, which is quite a feat in with a running track between the pitch and the stand.
Ian Baraclough is up and trying to encourage his players. Five to go.

It will almost certainly not have any impact on their qualification chances, but Northern Ireland are in real need to a strong finish to this match.
Their qualifying campaign is in real danger of going out with a whimper if they lose this match on the back of the Switzerland defeat.
A draw in Sofia could still provide a more positive backdrop to the final two games in Belfast next month, but it doesn't look like that is going to happen the way NI have played in the second half.
Jordan Jones and Stuart Dallas are on from the bench and Ian Baraclough will be hoping they can provide his team with a much-needed spark.

Quote MessageWe look tired and don't seem to be able to raise the game. We are trying to play quickly for the sake of it and it's getting us into all sorts of trouble. I think the team are shell-shocked and they don't know what has hit them. They are struggling to find a solution to get back into this game.

I know it's an old cliché, but this has been a real game of two halves.
Northern Ireland need to step it up or they could be in real trouble.
Bulgaria 2-1 Northern Ireland
Blimey, Todor Nedelev has just fired home an absolute screamer.
His first goal was good, credit where it is due, but this was a belter.
The ball is rolled across the edge of the area and Nedelev hits it first time. He gets so much power behind it, and it's right in the top corner and skims off the underside of the bar.
Yet again Peacock-Farrell had no chance.

Ivaylo Chochev jogs forward about 10 yards as they white shirts part and create a path for him.
That's basically saying, 'have a shot', and the midfielder obliges but it's straight at Peacock-Farrell.
Bulgaria are well on top here.
