OtpBankLiga Day 3 Overview
During the weekend day 2 of the OtpBankLiga took place, here's the complete set of results:
Ferencvaros won again and now has 3 points advantage on second place and harsh city rivals Ujpest and Honved. First half evenly played with chances on both sides, Bode's goal on a counterattack opened second half, followed by another deadly header from the same forward, making it 2-0, and virtually ending the contest. Vasas gave away huge spaces on the left wing resulting in a constant threat that materialized eventually in a defeat. Bode stands as top goalscorer with 3 hits.
Ujpest's opener vs Bekescsaba came from a badly defended corner, that gave Kalnoki-Kis the chance to make it 1-0, the second goal resulted from a precise header from Perovic that hit the back of the net falling close to the post. Lillak dominated second half hitting the woodwork on a freekick, in the end they kept the full booty and now sit in the high zones of the table.
Entertaining match between Honved and Debrecen in front of a decently packed Bozsik Stadium, at least for Hungarian standards. Home team took the lead with a well timed header from Zsidai in the wrong goal, 2-0 came from a screamer from outside the box signed Endre Botka. But Debrecen was still alive and found the 2-1 by the end of the half with Castillion ( 2 goals so far ), with another great swerving ball, Del Piero style. At the beginning of second half another stunning score came from a Holender's freekick ending in bottom left corner of the net leaving Loki 2 down once again. But Debrecen is hard to kill and took advantage of a Kemenes miscatch to make 3-2 with Balogh and eventually 3-3 with Tisza scoring from the 11 meters mark following a freekick. What a funny match!
In the middle table clash of between PuskasFC and Paksi, the home team gets the 3 points therefore stopping Paksi great start of season thanks to a goal from Pekar, that hit the net again after last week goal in Debrecen, from short distance.
Tie game between Haladas and MTK, down by 2 the Budapest side came back strong getting the equalizer at the 90th min, with Thiam tapping in a lose ball inside the box. Home team was all over the place in first half but sat back in the second half allowing MTK to make chances and converting them into a precious point.
Unbelievable ending in Diosgyor, Koman's almost missed penalty opened the way for the home team, but after wasting many chances to close the match, Diosgyor gave away a silly equilizer thanks to a bad pass from midfield. Shocked fans witnessed the 1-2 in recovery time, Videoton got the win and a breath of fresh air after.
Highlights
Haladas-MTK
PuskasFC-Paksi
Ujpest-Bekescsaba
Diosgyor-Videoton
Vasas-Ferencvaros
Honved-Debrecen
After Day3 Ferencvaros leads the group, followed by Ujpest and Honved, middle of the table packed with teams, newly promoted Vasas and Bekescabsa still pointless.
Next round to be played August the 8th and 9th, interesting games between MTK-Diosgyor and Videoton-Ferencvaros. Ujpest versus PuskasFC has a chance to reach the top of the table. Tough match for Honved in Paks.
Few words for last week eurocups: in Europa Champions League tie game for Vidi vs Bielorussian side BATE Borisov thanks to Vinicius late equalizer. The goal Videoton gave away might be crucial for the final outcome of the round, in Borisov it is gonna be very hard for the Hungarians and at this point hopes are very few.
In Europa League defeat for Debrecen, the final 2-3 vs Rosenborg it is an almost death sentence for Loki, forced to win at least 0-2 in Norway to go through.

It was also at MTK that Bukovi together with, Péter Palotás and Nándor Hidegkuti, also pioneered the crucial deep lying centre-forward position".( Wikipedia )

OtpBankLiga Day 2 review
During the weekend day 2 of the OtpBankLiga took place, here's the complete set of results:
Match day 2 confirmed that Ferencvaros are by far the best team in this beginning of the season, the victory against Diosgyor could have been way larger. Fradi scores at will with different players as the attacking game play involves all the team, this is a very important feature that will be very useful troughout the season if they keep playing like this. The elimination from Europa League has to be seen as an advantage, as crazy as it may sound, for a club that now has only one goal on the table.
Honved shares the top of the table as well, thanks to a heavy success against city rivals MTK, yes they struggle and yes the winner came late in the game but the persistence with which they chased it, it is good news for Marco Rossi's squad.
Ujpest won the other derby of the day against Vasas. The 1-3 final scores is probably too severe for the red and blues as they pushed to score all 90 minutes. Their problems lie in defence. Ujpest redeemed itself from the 0-0 home game against Paksi last week thanks to David, Salloi and Sankovic and versus Bekescsaba they will have a chance to make their table even better.
Paksi trashed Bekescsaba, and although the final scores of 4-0 materialized only in the last 20 minutes, the game was never an even contest.
The biggest surprise of the day was Haladas away victory in Fehervar against Videoton thanks to an unfortunate Juhasz own goal. To be fair, Vidi didn't deserve to lose, but probably Champions League 3rd round against BATE tonight, affected players minds therefore bringing lack of concentration.
Precious tie game for Puskas FC thanks to a stunning Laszlo Pekar goal from outside the box, the stop for Debrecen came as a surprise after the 9 goals scored in Europa League few days before. Perhaps the European cup drained Loki's energy but they
