Sayana Haskovo 0–2 Panthrakikos: Greek Side Enjoy Friendly Success

In an international club friendly played on July 28, 2026, Greek third-tier side Panthrakikos recorded a comfortable 2–0 victory over Bulgarian outfit Sayana Haskovo. The match served as a useful pre-season test for both sides as they look to build fitness and tactical cohesion ahead of their respective domestic campaigns.

Panthrakikos, historically a club with experience in the Greek Super League but now competing in the lower divisions, dominated possession from the outset. Their quality shone through in the first half when they broke the deadlock with a well-worked attacking move, finishing calmly past the Sayana Haskovo goalkeeper. The Bulgarian side struggled to create clear-cut chances, with Panthrakikos’ defense looking solid throughout the first 45 minutes.

The second half saw more of the same, with Panthrakikos doubling their lead just after the hour mark. A precise through ball split the Sayana Haskovo backline, and the striker made no mistake in slotting home. Sayana Haskovo pressed forward in the closing stages but lacked the cutting edge to reduce the deficit. The match ended 2–0, giving Panthrakikos a morale-boosting win.

For Sayana Haskovo, this friendly provides valuable experience against a different style of play, while Panthrakikos will take confidence from a clean sheet and two goals as they continue their pre-season preparations.
