The match on 2nd May 2023 between PFK Slavia Sofia and Lokomotiv Plovdiv in the First League ended in a 1-1 draw, with both teams' goals coming in the second half.

PFK Slavia Sofia managed the first goal of the match after 47 minutes and 15 seconds into the second half. However, their lead didn't last for long as Lokomotiv Plovdiv equalised, nearly 40 minutes later at the 1 hour 26 minutes and 37 seconds landmark.

Both teams were quite disciplined initially with first half showcasing only one yellow card distributed to Lokomotiv Plovdiv. However, the discipline began to drop in the second half for both teams, with PFK Slavia Sofia having been penalised a total of 4 times with yellow cards, twice within the space of just 9 minutes. Lokomotiv Plovdiv were not far behind, garnering 2 additional yellow cards in the second half, bringing their total to 3.

Set-pieces played a part in this match as Slavia Sofia managed to win 5 corner kicks to Lokomotiv Plovdiv's 4. However, the overall game statistics do not indicate if either of the teams could capitalise on these opportunities. The same holds for offsides, with Slavia Sofia being called offside twice in comparison to Lokomotiv Plovdiv's single offside decision.

From the given data, the teams seemed evenly matched in most respects. Despite PFK Slavia Sofia being slightly more disciplinary problematic in the second half, with more yellow cards to their name, this did not significantly tilt the game's outcome. The teams ended up sharing the spoils with a goal apiece.

In conclusion, this game was marked by defensive discipline and a strong second-half performance from both teams. However, neither team could find the decisive edge or make the most of the set-piece opportunities to garner three points. The high number of yellow cards, especially in the second half, indicates a fierce contest, but one where neither team managed to dominate entirely. As a result, the match ended in a 1-1 draw.
