In the third minute, Kecskés' shot posed the first threat, with the goalkeeper saving in the bottom right corner. In the 9th minute, we cleared the ball after a scramble in front of the goal, and in the 12th minute, Tujvel saved Varga's header after Spandler's cross from the left. A minute later, Baki powered his header under the bar after Csontos' corner from the left, giving the home team the lead (1-0).

A minute later, Németh's shot went wide, but we equalized in the 17th minute: after a corner, Zsótér's cross was flicked on by Varga to Németh, who fired into the net (1-1). In the 20th minute, Ujváry sent a well-placed ball over the bar, then in the 23rd minute, we came close to taking the lead: Haraszti hit the right post from 15 meters, and the ball bounced out. In the closing stages of the first half, Csontos fouled Dániel Németh twice, but only one of them resulted in a yellow card, and he was not sent off. Németh had to be substituted at half-time due to injury, and was replaced by Patrik Kovács.

In the 48th minute, Gergely Nagy easily saved Medgyes's shot, then in the 54th minute, after a corner kick from the left, Csontos's bouncing shot found its way into our goal (2-1). In the 63rd minute, Tamás Pető made a double substitution, bringing on Dániel Bartusz and Krisztián Kovács. Our team pushed forward, and our attacks were dangerous. In the 67th minute, Patrik Kovács just failed to connect with a pass, and in the 77th minute, everyone thought Haraszti's 15-meter shot into the top right corner was going in, but the ball bounced off the inside of the post and out, which this was the second time our midfielder had hit the woodwork in the game. Our team did everything they could to equalize until the final whistle, with Krisztián Kovács' shot going over the bar in the 93rd minute, but the goal did not come, so although we outnumbered Honvéd in terms of chances, the match ended in a 2-1 home victory.

The action continues on Saturday at home against Ajka.
