Bulgaria's national football team defeated Belarus 2-0 in a European Championship qualifying match Saturday evening in Minsk with Dimitar Berbatov striking twice.

The Tottenham Hotspur striker scored in the 28th and 46th minutes to bring his side close to the top two in Group G, Romania and the Netherlands.

That was Bulgaria's first victory under the management of interim coach Stanimir Stoilov. Stoilov was appointed caretaker manager for the two games against Belarus, after Hristo Stoitchkov surprisingly resigned to take charge of Spanish relegation strugglers Celta de Vigo in April.

Bulgaria now has 12 points after six matches in Group G, while Belarus has seven.

The two teams will meet again in Bulgaria on June 6.
