The youths ran away and Mr Stoyanov was rushed to hospital where he died the next day.
The 17-year-old boy was found guilty of murder and handed a life sentence with a minimum term of 15 years.
Kibble was found guilty of murder and jailed for life with a minimum term of 14 years and nine months.

This came after he pleaded guilty to the sexual assault of a girl under 13, engaging in sexual activity with a girl under 16 and two counts of engaging in sexual activity with a girl under 16 with penetration.
Gillett had targeted children on social media apps then engaged in non-consensual sexual activities and showed threatening, controlling and obsessive behaviour towards the victims, a court heard.
On Monday December 18 Gillett appeared at the Old Bailey for breaching a sexual harm prevention order.
Prosecutor Nikki James said Gillett was released from prison in June this year but was required to follow strict rules on his behaviour, including restrictions around his interaction with any children, possession of mobile phones or computers and use of the internet.
But by September he broke these conditions by failing to disclose a relationship he was having with a woman to police.
Gillett was arrested and when his room was searched officers found two phones.
They were aware of one of these phones but not the other.
On the second phone Gillett had downloaded Snapchat, TikTok and WhatsApp, despite having been banned from using all three.
He had also been deleting the internet search history on that phone.
Gillett pleaded guilty to four counts of breaching a sexual harm prevention order.
Gillett was sentenced to two years and nine months in prison.

Maureen was last seen by her family at her aunt’s birthday party at their shared home in Deptford where she had been “in a good mood, playing with the children”.
Maureen left the party to meet Moodie, a friend from work, who took her to a block of flats on Blackheath Hill where he was employed as a caretaker – she never left the building alive.
“You have never given an account of what happened between the two of you in Richmond House. No one but you knows why you killed her,” Judge Nicholas Lavender said.
CCTV footage showed Moodie moving a large communal waste bin around the basement of Richmond House.
He put her body in the waste bin and covered it with sacks of rubbish before putting it out for collection, prosecutor Jocelyn Ledward told the court.
It was then taken to a processing plant on Landmann Way in Deptford on December 8 where it was “inevitably” incinerated.
At his sentencing hearing a statement from Maureen’s mum, Jane, addressed Moodie directly.
“You are a coward and a cold-hearted murderer,” she said. “You preyed on a vulnerable and sweet girl who would never hurt anyone. You’ve never even given us a reason why you took her away from us.”
Moodie was jailed for life with a minimum term of 20 years.

“You lied to me and this led me to wanting to look a certain way on the pictures so I stopped eating.
“For months I could not bring myself to leave my home because of the thought of you finding me and telling everyone what I did.
“I was petrified that you would find me and come to my house and hurt, perhaps kill myself or one of my family members. I used to wake up in the middle of the night thinking that you were inside my house which terrified me.”
