European Cups

European cups in these days, Videoton in Uefa Champions League and Debrecen and Ferencvaros in UEFA Europa League were busy trying to go through the international competitions.

The team from Székesfehérvár had a great advantage as they were facing Welsh side The New Saints strong of the 0-1 victory obtained in the UK one week earlier. Unfortunately disappointed fans saw their team playing a shallow game, never trying to impose their gameplay and limiting their actions to a useless passing game that eventually led to a TNS goal, therefore prolonging the contest to Extra Time. There, it was the usual Gyurcso to solve the pickle, scoring the goal that sends Videoton through the third round.
In the end the score matters and Vidi are still in the biggest european competion, but better change their attitude next round when they will face a very difficult task playing against FC BATE Borisov from Bielorus.
HIGHLIGHTS

In UEFA Europa League, Ferencvaros had a difficult game having lost first leg home by 0-1. The match turned out to be a Waterloo for Fradi, still not ready for the kind of pressure and commitment that such competions demand. Defeated 2-0 by Zeljeznicar, the hungarians get out of Europe football wise, hoping to turn the bad outcome into a positive load of experince next time they walk the field in a european cup.
HIGHLIGHTS

Triumph for Debrecen as they trashed Latvian side Skonto Riga 9-2!! All right opposition wasn't challenging enough and it is still a preliminary round, yet DVSC's performane brought back to memory that famous 10-1 that a sparkling Hungarian national team imposed to El Salvador in the 1982 WC in Spain.
Load of self awareness for "Loki", they look like Hungary's best hope to reach the Group phase after so many years. Well done guys!
Next match will be against Norwegian team  Rosenborg BK, in these days far away relative of the strong side of the early 2000's.
