Ludogorets have claimed their third trophy of an exceptional season after securing a narrow 1-0 victory over CSKA Sofia in the Bulgarian Cup final. The decisive moment came in the 34th minute when Caio Vidal found the net with what proved to be the winning goal.
This triumph completes a remarkable treble for the Razgrad-based club under the guidance of Igor Jovicevic, who previously managed Shakhtar Donetsk. Having already lifted the Bulgarian Super Cup earlier in the campaign and clinched the league title ahead of schedule, Ludogorets have now added the Bulgarian Cup to their impressive collection.
According to Statbet, Ludogorets' defensive record in cup competitions this season has been particularly impressive, showcasing the tactical discipline instilled by Jovicevic.
Jovicevic's success in Bulgaria adds to his growing reputation, following his championship-winning tenure with Shakhtar Donetsk in Ukraine's Premier League. The Croatian specialist has also previously managed Ukrainian clubs Karpaty and Dnipro-1, but this season's treble with Ludogorets represents one of the high points of his coaching career.
