EUROPA LEAGUE: CSKA Sofia 1 Fulham 1DIOMANSY KAMARA pounced to secure Fulham a creditable draw at the Levski National Stadium last night.

CSKA were caught on the break with Kamara rifling home in front of 260 travelling fans, as Fulham responded well to Michel’s fine 63rd-minute opener for the home side.

The additional assistant referees alongside each goal passed without incident, though in the first half this owed much to the lack of action in the penalty areas.

CSKA SOFIA:Karadzhov, Kostadin Stoyanov, Minev, Kotev, Ivanov, Todorov, Yanev (Vladimir Manchev 78), Morozs (Marquinhos 46), Yanchev, Ivan Stoyanov (Michel 54), Delev. Subs not used: Ivaylo Petrov, Vidanov, Timonov, Branekov. Booked: Minev, Michel, Marquinhos.

FULHAM:Stockdale, Kelly, Pantsil, Baird, Smalling, Gera, Riise, Greening, Davies, Kamara, Nevland. Subs not used: Zuberbuhler, Watts, Saunders, Anderson, Uwezu, Marsh-Brown, Smith. Booked: Greening, Smalling, Kamara.

Referee:D Ceferin (Slovenia).
