Ludogorets Razgrad beat SCM Râmnicu Vâlcea 3-0 in friendly match
Ludogorets Razgrad opened Igor Jovićević’s head coach with a 3-0 victory over Romanian second-tier club SCM Râmnicu Vâlcea in a friendly match played at the Huvepharma Arena. The match served as an unofficial debut for four recent acquisitions while providing tactical assessment during the autumn fixture schedule.
New Signings Make Their First Starting Appearances
The 14-time Bulgarian champions utilized the international break fixture to integrate recent additions into the squad architecture.
The tactical setup immediately yielded offensive pressure down the flanks. In the 25th minute, Bernard Tekpetey broke down the left channel and delivered a cross into the penalty area, allowing Erik Markus to evade opposing defenders and finish cleanly for the opening goal. Shortly after, Ruan Seco missed a penalty kick awarded to the hosts, and Markus missed another close-range opportunity in the 38th minute before Tekpetey struck the right goalpost with a long-range effort.
Controlling the Tempo and Securing the Scoreline
Ludogorets maintained offensive control into the second half of the friendly fixture. Ruan doubled the advantage to 2-0 with a curling shot toward the far corner following sustained possession in the attacking third.
The starting XI featured Ivo Grbić, Joël Andersson, Georgi Terziev, Ivan Yeliczko, Amir Hadžiahmetović, Ruan, Petar Stanić, Son, Bernard Tekpetey, Omar Rekik, and Erik Markus.
Looking ahead in the domestic calendar, the club is scheduled to face Cherno More in another friendly encounter on October 4 as Jovićević continues preparations for upcoming league and European commitments.
