Ghanaian winger Bernard Tekpetey was on target last night as Ludogorets Razgrad secured qualification for the UEFA Europa League group stage with a 4-1 triumph over North Macedonian side Shkendija after extra time.

The Bulgarian champions were made to work hard after Shkendija forced the tie beyond 90 minutes, but Ludogorets’ superior quality shone through in extra time, with Tekpetey playing a key role in the decisive moments. His well-taken goal helped settle the contest, ensuring the home side cruised past their opponents and booked their spot in the league phase of the competition.

Tekpetey, who has been in fine form for Ludogorets this season, continues to enhance his reputation in Europe, and his latest performance underlines his importance to the Bulgarian giants as they prepare for another campaign on the continental stage.
