Vora Earn Their First Victory on Bulgarian Soil, Halabaku Stars with a Brace
FK Vora secured their first victory during their pre-season training camp in Bansko, Bulgaria.
Arjan Bellai’s side defeated Bulgarian club FC Krumovgrad 3-0, producing a positive performance ahead of the new Abissnet Superiore season.
Kevin Halabaku was the standout player of the match. The 24-year-old forward scored twice, immediately showcasing his attacking qualities.
The other goal was scored by highly rated 19-year-old Briajan Gjyla, another of the club’s summer signings. The performances of the two new arrivals represent encouraging news for the coaching staff as they work to build a competitive squad.
The victory came after two defeats in Vora’s previous friendly matches. On July 18, they suffered a 2-0 loss against Israeli side Hapoel Haifa, before being narrowly beaten 1-0 by Romanian club Metalul Buzău on July 23.
The convincing win over Krumovgrad, combined with a clean sheet, gives Vora confidence and a valuable morale boost as their preparations continue.
Krumovgrad spent two seasons in the Bulgarian top flight but currently compete in the lower divisions following a difficult period marked by organizational and stadium-related problems.
Vora will conclude their series of international friendly matches in Bulgaria on July 31, when they face Greek club Levadiakos.Vora Earn Their First Victory on Bulgarian Soil, Halabaku Stars with a Brace
