Pirin Blagoevgrad earned a hard-fought 1-0 victory over local rivals Minyor Pernik in a Bulgarian Vtora Liga match on August 4, 2025. The narrow win in this regional derby provides a crucial three points for Pirin in their quest for promotion to the First League. The match was a tense and physical affair with few clear chances for either side in the first half. The deadlock was broken midway through the second period when Pirin capitalized on a defensive lapse from Minyor, slotting home from close range. Minyor Pernik pushed for an equalizer in the final stages, but the Pirin defense held firm to secure a clean sheet and a precious derby win. The result is a significant boost for Pirin Blagoevgrad's league position early in the season, while Minyor will be frustrated not to have taken at least a point from a closely contested match.
