Kamara struck the equaliser against the Bulgarian league leaders in their Europa League fixture, picking up Erik Nevland's pass and rounding goalkeeper Ivan Karadzhov before finding an empty net.
It was his first goal of the season, cancelling out Michel Platini's opener and marking the end of an unsettled period that saw him linked with a move to Newcastle.
The Magpies expressed an interest in signing Kamara, only to be told by Hodgson he still has a role to play at the club.
"Diomansy took the goal very well. We've see him do that so many times," Hodgson said. "When he span away I was confident he would get behind the defence and compose himself. It still wasn't an easy finish - it was on his left foot as well.
"It's once of those goals where you think 'open goal, he should score' - but I've seen many missed in my time. There's no truth in the stories he's going to Newcastle."
