Levski Sofia vs Etar Veliko Tarnovo

With the game already decided, Velázquez made wholesale changes at half-time. Maicon shifted into central midfield, while Kuso moved to left-back. The tempo dropped, but Levski continued to create chances. Kuso hit the post from distance in the 68th minute, and Juan Perea fired wide in the 81st.

The sixth and final goal arrived in the 89th minute. Armstrong Oko-Flex's shot was parried by the Etar goalkeeper, and Adrian Raychev — the third new signing — was on hand to slot home the rebound.

Soula's goal in the 32nd minute, just seconds after he had chipped over the bar from a similar position. Rather than letting frustration creep in, Levski immediately recovered the ball high up the pitch and worked it back to Soula, who made no mistake second time. That goal effectively ended any remote chance Etar had of staying in the contest.

• Reinaldo — the Brazilian winger scored twice (33', 45') in his first start for the club, having come off the bench in the opening friendly. His pace behind the defence was a constant threat.
• David Kuso — opened the scoring with a composed finish in the 13th minute and set up Soula's goal. Versatile enough to shift to left-back in the second half.
• Mazir Soula — one goal and one assist. His diagonal pass for Kuso's opener showed excellent vision, and he took his own goal with composure.
• Adrian Raychev — the third new recruit to score, grabbing the sixth goal in the 89th minute.

Levski's 6–0 scoreline reflects a first-half demolition that produced five goals in 32 minutes. The provider payload shows five goals in the first half alone, with only one after the interval — a pattern explained by Velázquez making seven substitutions at half-time and three more later, rotating his squad for fitness rather than chasing more goals. The single yellow card (52nd minute for Levski) underlines a friendly played with minimal edge.

Levski now have 10 goals from two pre-season friendlies (4–0 vs Akademik Svishtov on 19 June, and this 6–0 win). They are midway through their summer training camp in Pravets. Their next friendly is on Saturday 27 June against Botev Vratsa (18:30 local time), also in Pravets, as preparations continue for the 2026–27 Parva Liga season.

For Etar, who compete in Bulgaria's second tier, the result is a reminder of the gulf in class. They will look to sharpen defensively before the new season begins.

A one-sided friendly that told Velázquez everything he needed to know: his new signings are integrating quickly and the squad depth looks strong. The margin was emphatic, but the first-half intensity — five goals from 13 to 45 minutes — was the most encouraging sign for the Levski supporters who braved the rain in Pravets.
