Cherno More Varna and Botev Vratsa finished in a 0-0 draw in the Bulgarian First League on February 20, 2026. The late fixture at the Ticha Stadium in Varna ended goalless, a result that highlighted both teams' struggles in front of goal. Cherno More, playing at home, dominated possession and territory but found it impossible to penetrate a deep and compact Botev Vratsa defense. The visitors offered almost no attacking threat, seemingly settling for a point from the outset. The match's major talking point came in the second half when Cherno More had a goal disallowed for a marginal offside call after a lengthy VAR review. Despite late pressure and a series of corners, the home side could not find a breakthrough. The point was a useful one for Botev Vratsa in their battle against relegation, while Cherno More's inability to win at home against a bottom-half opponent was a source of frustration.
