Arda progressed to the next round of the Bulgarian Cup with a professional 2-0 away victory over FK Levski Krumovgrad on December 16, 2024. The top-flight side navigated a potential banana skin with relative ease against their lower-league opponents. Arda controlled the tempo and broke the deadlock in the first half, easing any nerves. They sealed the tie with a second goal after the interval, allowing them to manage the game comfortably. Levski Krumovgrad fought hard but lacked the quality to seriously trouble Arda's defense over the ninety minutes. This result sees Arda advance in the cup competition as expected, while Levski Krumovgrad can take pride in a respectable performance against superior opposition before focusing on their league campaign.
