Daniel Borimirov helped spark a PFC Levski Sofia revival as they came from behind to secure a 2-1 win against Udinese Calcio and progress to the last eight of the UEFA Cup.
The 36-year-old midfielder, a star of the Bulgaria side that reached the 1994 FIFA World Cup semi-finals, had not scored a European goal for Levski since finding the target against Rangers FC in the UEFA Champions League in 1993/94, but made his mark after 51 minutes to cancel out Fernando Tissone's opener.
With the teams having drawn 0-0 in the first leg in Italy, it looked like that away goal might prove vital for Udinese until Igor Tomas got on the end of a cross from fellow defender Lucio Wagner to head Levski's winner after 63 minutes.
Udinese, who left a number of key players at home in anticipation of crucial Serie A games, took the lead on 22 minutes when Roberto Baronio's free-kick caught the Levski defence cold, allowing Vidigal to flick the ball on for Tissone to sweep it past Georgi Petkov.
