Levski secured a spot in the final of the efbet Bulgarian Cup women's volleyball tournament after an extremely hard-fought victory over CSKA with a score of 3:2 (19:25, 25:18, 25:11, 14:25, 18:16). The match in Hristo Botev Hall offered a serious dose of drama, comebacks throughout the game, and tension until the last point in the tie-break.

The 'Blues' showed character, twice falling behind in the score, but found the strength to come back and close the match in the decisive set. Levski dominated the third set, while CSKA responded with a convincing fourth part, leading to an even tie-break, decided after a series of match points.

Gabriela Zhekova was the top scorer for the winners with 19 points.

Venesa Radeva, Slavina Koleva, and Elena Kolarova also made significant contributions to the victory. For CSKA, Monique De Jesus and Eva Kamenska led the attack, but it was not enough to qualify for the final.

Later today, the second finalist will be determined after the clash between the trophy holder Maritsa (Plovdiv) and the team of CPVC.
