Fulham seal a precious point at CSKA Sofia, with a second-half strike from Diomansy Kamara, in a much-changed side from the weekend’s winning team.
The hosts were first on the score sheet when Michel struck from 20 yards, on a half volley, from just outside the area. Three minutes later, Fulham’s front man Kamara responded after receiving a ball over the top from Nevland to round the keeper and slot home the equaliser. The Cottagers’ keeper Stockdale marked his European debut with a good save, tipping Todorov’s firmly-hit shot over his bar, after good work from Marquinhos.
Sofia worked well at pressing Fulham, but once the Londoners’ got into their Rhythm, they took the sting out of the game.
The point was a valuable one for Fulham as they made club history by appearing in the group stages of a European competition. Roy Hodgson will be happy with the long travel back home knowing that group favourites Roma lost their equivalent tie.
62′ 0-1 Michel [CSKA Sofia]
