Ghanaian international, Bernard Tekpetey grabbed a brace for Ludogorets on Thursday afternoon when the team defeated Svoge 3-1 in the round of 16 of the Bulgarian Cup competition.

He scored two goals with his first coming in the 18th minute to give the away team the lead at halftime.

His second came in the 57th minute to restore the lead for Ludogorets after Deyan Hristov had scored three minutes into the second half to draw level for Svoge.

With Claudiu Keseru also getting on the scoresheet in the 60th minute, Ludogorets won 3-1 at the end of the 90 minutes and progresses to the next stage of the Bulgarian Cup.
