Possession anchor from deep

A. Petkov completed 52 passes with 91.2% accuracy from defence, dominating the ball in Bulgaria's build-up phase. His high touch count and accuracy made him essential to controlling tempo and initiating attacks from the back.

Threading passes without clear chances

M. Petkov created two key passes despite generating no expected assists from open play. His contributions suggested intelligent positioning and movement rather than high-quality finishing opportunities for teammates.

Tireless defensive presence

F. Nürnberger made 18 combined defensive actions—tackles, interceptions, recoveries, and clearances. His workrate proved crucial in breaking up opposition attacks and recycling possession during sustained defensive periods.

Spark off the bench

E. Yablonskiy recorded a key pass in just 31 minutes as a substitute, making an immediate creative impact. His introduction injected freshness into Bulgaria's midfield and helped shift the match's attacking rhythm.
