The result of the match was a 5:0 win for Cherno More. On 2 October 2008, on his birthday, Dancho scored the opening goal in the UEFA Cup match against the German powerhouse VfB Stuttgart,[5] but the match ended in a 2:2 draw and the sailors were eliminated after an aggregate score of 3:4. On 20 October 2008 Yordan scored two goals against Lokomotiv Mezdra in a match from the Bulgarian A PFG. On 16 May 2009, Yurukov scored the winning goal for Cherno More to help the team from Varna secure a 1:0 win against his former club CSKA Sofia.[6] In his first season in Cherno More, Yurukov earned 29 appearances the A PFG and scored eleven goals.
