After already proving an assist earlier in the match, Bijev bagged Sacramento’s fourth and final goal on the night with a stunning left-footed curling attempt that the former Liverpool FC playmaker nestled inside the top left corner of the net. The goal set up superbly after Rodrigo Lopez picked him out to his left and the Bulgarian-born winger weaved his way towards the top of the box and rifled an impeccably placed shot on target and in an unstoppable place for the goalkeeper to get a hand on it.
