Videoton FC fielded a relatively strong side in the League cup on Wednesday evening. The weather has recently began to cool after a long summer, which did not help the attendance, which remained low. Vidi beat Honved in the home fixture a week earlier, thanks to a last minute Nemanja Nikolics strike, and they needed another injury time effort to rescue a point at Honved. The first major talking point in the game arrived after 22 minutes, when Tujvel was adjudged to have made contact with Delczeg, and the referee pointed to the spot. The visiting keeper saw red and Vidi were reduced to ten men, with Pajovics replacing him in between the sticks. 

Honved took the lead in the 82nd minute when Hajdu's free kick was parried by Pajovics and the rebound fell to Abbas who scored from close range. However, Vidi showed plenty of spirit in the closing minutes, rescuing the match following a build up, which included Alves and Oliveira setting up Walter who shot nicely into the corner of the net in time added on. Videoton now turn their focus back on to the OTP league with a testing home match on Saturday against KTE.
