As expected, the teams went onto the pitch amid a fantastic atmosphere and supported by a lot of fans from Debrecen during the Eastern Hungarian derby on Saturday evening. Loki could not count on Erik Kusnyir, Jorgo Pellumbi and Thor Úlfarsson, who were still on rehabilitation, as well as Meldin Dreskovic, who had a smaller injury. However, Brandon Domingues was back on track and he was among the starting XI, just like Oleksandr Romanchuk and Stefan Loncar this time.
The match started poorly for DVSC as the home team took the lead already in the 1st minute. After a right-sided cross, Klimovic headed the ball into the right corner from 10 meters (1-0). In the 6th minute, Balázs Dzsudzsák tried to answer with a free-kick from 24 meters, but Odincov saved the ball at the bottom left corner. The pace was vivid, Loki tried to react on the early goal, but had to be cautious with the attacks of Diósgyőr.
There were a lot of inaccuracies and mistakes in our play and we conceded one more goal in the 22nd minute. Oleksandr Romanchuk fell, so Edomwonyi easily headed the ball into the goal from 12 meters over Balázs Megyeri, who was standing out of the goal. The situation became even more tragical in the 29th minute, when János Ferenczi fouled Pozeg Vancas within the box. Pernambuco shot the penalty, but Balázs Megyeri made a brilliant save and he even denied Lund’s second attempt.
This could really empower DVSC and our team pulled one back before halftime. In the 42nd minute, Stefan Loncar made a through pass to Botond Vajda, who made a cross, the ball bounced off a defender and Nimród Baranyai shot the ball into the bottom right corner from 10 meters (2-1). It was the first goal of Baranyai in NB I.
Hamzat Ojediran came on for the second half, and Loki tried everything to equalize. The equalizer came in the 48th minute! Balázs Dzsudzsák shot from 20 meters, the ball bounced off the home goalkeeper, and the arriving Donát Bárány converted the rebound (2-2). It was the start of a new match, full of excitement and duels.
At that time, our team played in superiority, but surprisingly, it was Diósgyőr that scored. In the 60th minute, after a defensive blunder, Edomwonyi curled the ball into the top right corner of the goal from close range (3-2). Moreover, in the 67th minute, with our team merely observing, the newly-substituted Gera also scored from a few meters, leaving no chance for earning any points (4-2). Márk Szécsi and Soma Szuhodovszki came off the bench for the final minutes (then, Ádám Bódi and Tamás Batai also came for the endgame). Odincov saved Márk Szécsi’s shot too.
Loki kept trying until the final minutes, and in the 83rd minute, our team managed to score again. Hamzat Ojediran smartly slotted the ball into the bottom left corner from 13 meters, following a nice setup by Donát Bárány (4-3). However, in stoppage time, Fekete scored from a counterattack (5-3), and thus, the defeat couldn’t be avoided. We will continue the championship against Újpest next Saturday at Nagyerdei Stadium.
According to the coach
Vladimir Radenkovic: We made this match dramatic after 2-0 and the missed penalty, but our mentality was good. I saw the team that I started to work with at the beginning.
Srdjan Blagojevic: Congratulations to Diósgyőr. It was a crazy match, I felt like sitting on a rollercoaster. We conceded a very early goal and had no energy in defence. Then came the second goal and the penalty, but Megyeri’s save brought change and we could score after that. At the beginning of the second half, we could equalize and it looked like we could change the match, but we conceded one more goal. On this level, we cannot allow ourselves to make so many mistakes, but I take responsibility for my choices. It’s hard to analyse now, this is a painful defeat, but we have only one day to be sad, after that we have to pull ourselves together and finish the season.

The home match against Kecskemét on Sunday afternoon was an important stop in the fight for the international cup participation for Loki. Our team could not count on Erik Kusnyir, Jorgo Pellumbi, Thor Úlfarsson and Brandon Domingues this time, but among the starting XI were Soma Szuhodovszki and Ádám Bódi, who was greeted on the occasion of his 300th appearance in the first division.
The match started with an equal play in the midfield, then in the 8th minute, the goalkeeper of Kecskemét saved Balázs Dzsudzsák’s header from 10 meters that he performed after a well-built attack. DVSC took control of the match and in the 19th minute, Meldin Dreskovic headed the ball over the goal. In the 27th minute, Krisztofer Horváth missed a chance on the other side. Even though there were not many chances, the match was exciting.
In the final minutes of the first half, Hamzat Ojediran unleashed a powerful shot that went over the goal, while in the 34th minute, Ádám Bódi shot wide off the goal. In the 37th minute, at the end of a beautiful combination by Bódi, Szuhodovszki and Ferenczi, Ádám Bódi was fouled within the box, but the referee overturned the awarded penalty after a long VAR check. During the extra time, Kersák denied Balázs Dzsudzsák’s shot. Thus, no goals were scored until the break.
At the beginning of the second half, there were many stoppages for medical care. Then, in the 56th minute, Balázs Megyeri made a brilliant save to deny the 16-meter shot of Zsótér. Krisztofer Horváth also had a dangerous attempt but Megyeri saved it. Thirty minutes before the end, Dominik Kocsis, Stefan Loncar and Christian Manrique came on as substitutes. Balázs Megyeri saved the clear-cut chance of Lukács as well. Loki tried to increase the pressure and it paid off when Meldin Dreskovic was kicked in the head inside the penalty area after a cross. The referee didn’t blow his whistle, but the VAR checked it and awarded a penalty. Balázs Dzsudzsák confidently converted the penalty in the 69th minute (1-0).
Márk Szécsi came off the bench for the endgame (then, at the very end, Oleksandr Romanchuk came on too). DVSC saved their advantage and earned really three important points. We will continue next week in Diósgyőr.
According to the coach
Srdjan Blagojevic: It was a very important, but tough match and victory. There was pressure on us after our last defeat, so it was tough today, but we did it and earned three points. I would comment this match the same way I did last week. It was a typical Hungarian league match, but this time the difference is that we have won the game. There was no relation between the two halves: in the first half, we were in superiority and played well, only the final passes were missing. I was a bit afraid that it would change after the break, and that’s how it was. We were nervous and rushing a bit. Fortunately, Balázs Megyeri made some brilliant saves, he was the man of the match. We managed to take the lead with great difficulty and we had to hold onto it. I’m aware of the fact that there were mistakes, but the most important thing was securing the three points.
István Szabó: We honestly prepared for the match, but had some smaller problems in the first half. After the break, our way of play prevailed. I’m sorry for the missed opportunities.

Due to the success of Fehérvár and the fight for the podium, Loki was under pressure to win against MTK on Saturday evening at Nagyerdei Stadium. Erik Kusnyir, Jorgo Pellumbi and Thor Úlfarsson were out of the squad due to injuries. What concerns the starting XI, the only change was that Christian Manrique, who scored a goal against Kisvárda, started this time.
Loki had the first clear-cut chance of the match in the 5th minute, when János Ferenczi shot from 11 meters after a corner-kick, but he didn’t find the net. In the 10th minute, Brandon Domingues broke away from the defenders at the end of a nice action, but Demjén managed to block his close-range shot. In the 13th minute, Donát Bárány headed wide off the goal and not long after, Bognár missed a huge opportunity on the other side of the pitch. MTK took the lead in the 16th minute: at the end of a quick attack, Kosznovszky shot the ball into the right corner of the goal from 12 meters (0-1).
Subsequently, Loki managed to control the match at some points, but could not create bigger chances. In the final minutes of the first half, Balázs Megyeri had to perform a huge save to deny Kata’s powerful shot. Loki could not equalize until halftime.
At the beginning of the second half, Donát Bárány headed wide off the goal. Even though our team tried to press their opponent, MTK scored one more goal. In the 50th minute, Horváth shot the ball into the bottom left corner, converting Bognár’s pass (0-2). More than thirty minutes before the end, Stefan Loncar, Soma Szuhodovszki and Ádám Bódi came on as substitutes.
Then, Loki pulled one back! In the 57th minute, Hamzat Ojediran made a through pass to Donát Bárány, who rolled the ball into the net from 13 meters (1-2). Excitement grew as in the 67th minute, Dusan Lagator’s header hit the crossbar and DVSC increased the pressure.
Loki tried everything in the final minutes (Máté Tuboly and Márk Szécsi also came on), while MTK often stalled for time (Demjén made two crucial saves), but we could not equalize.
We will continue next Saturday against Kecskemét at Nagyerdei Stadium.
According to the coach
Srdjan Blagojevic: Congratulations to MTK. If a team can win 3 times against us, that’s not accidental, for sure. It was a dramatic match, typical of Hungarian league matches, during which we saw good attacks and mistakes too. There aren’t many teams in this championship, which can permanently control their performance and unfortunately, it’s true for our team as well. We could have scored 3 goals at the beginning, but we obviously had problems with our defence. We made some changes for the second half, but conceded an early goal again. We increased the intensity, pulled one back and were close to the second goal, but at the end, we could not equalize. It’s a painful defeat for us. Six matches are left and we will fight until the end.
Dávid Horváth: It was a very exciting match, which ended well for us. We performed well in every phase, faced significant pressure at the end, but we fought hard.

Even though Erik Kusnyir, Jorgo Pellumbi and Thor Úlfarsson were still out of the squad due to their injuries, Loki started the match against Kisvárda on Easter Saturday with the hope of victory in a summerlike weather with 25 degrees. Regarding the starting XI, there were no big surprises: players delivering a good performance in the 5-1 victory over ZTE got a chance to play this time as well.
At the beginning of the match, the approximately 300 supporters accompanying Loki could see that in the 5th minute, following an attack from the right side, Mesanovic arriving in the centre found the net with a deflected ball bouncing off a block and aided by the crossbar into the bottom right corner (1-0). Thus, our team immediately had to change the rhythm and that’s what happened sometimes. The dominance on the pitch didn’t translate into significant opportunities and we had to pay attention to the counterattacks of Kisvárda. However, the equalizer finally came towards the end of the first half. Following a pass from Balázs Dzsudzsák, Botond Vajda broke into the box from the right, dribbled inward, then scored a beautiful goal into the top corner from 9 meters (1-1). No more goals were scored until halftime.
DVSC started the second half very dynamically. In the 49th minute, Brandon Domingues made a dangerous header, but Donát Bárány couldn’t reach the ball. However, Loki made a comeback in the 54th minute, when Balázs Dzsudzsák made a nice cross from the left and Brandon Domingues nodded the ball into the centre of the goal from 6 meters (1-2).
Our team controlled the game after that as well. In the 63rd minute, Brandon Domingues could have scored with one more header, but it went wide off the goal. Thirty minutes before the end, Stefan Loncar came off the bench (later Márk Szécsi and Ádám Bódi, then Christian Manrique also came on as substitutes). Our team tried to score a third goal to decide the match. For some time, our attempts were not successful (Kovács made a huge save to deny Balázs Dzsudzsák’s and Meldin Dreskovic’s attempts), however, in the 90th minute, after Ádám Bódi’s pass, Christian Manrique brilliantly curled the ball into the right side of the goal from 16 meters (1-3). Thus, Loki confidently won and collected three valuable points.
We will continue next Saturday against MTK at Nagyerdei Stadium.
According to the coach
Tamás Feczkó: We started well and could have scored one more goal after taking the lead. We had to play a more open game after conceding a goal in the second half and made some annoying mistakes. I hope that we will be able to win in the Cup.
Srdjan Blagojevic: Congratulations to my players for the victory. I’m satisfied with our performance; it was a well-deserved victory. The beginning of the match was not easy as Kisvárda changed their play. We needed some time to adapt to that and in the meantime, we conceded a goal. We were a bit nervous but reacted well, and we could equalize before the break with the beautiful goal of Botond Vajda. We made some tactical changes in the second half, we controlled the game and could have decided the match earlier. I’m happy for this victory. Kisvárda is not a bad team, I wish them all the best!

Hamzat Ojediran, the 20-year-old Nigerian midfielder of DVSC, is becoming more and more popular among our fans for his fighting skills and diligence. Hamzat scored his first league goal for Loki against Zalaegerszeg and took the lead in the last match. We interviewed one of the heroes of the match.
– You scored your first league goal against ZTE. How did it feel?
– I had been waiting for this moment for a long time. It was my first goal as a professional footballer and it makes me very happy.
– You joined DVSC just over a year ago, how do you feel about the club and the team?
– Debrecen is a great place for my development, I’m learning a lot of new things and that’s one of the reasons for my success. I feel that everything is in place now.
– Speaking of learning, do you have a role model, a favorite among the big stars?
– Definitely Chilean star Arturo Vidal. I like his game a lot, he has played for top clubs in Europe like Barcelona, Juventus and Internazionale.
– What do you think about the city of Debrecen? What do you do in your spare time?
– I have a good time, I like the city, I like to walk around and go to restaurants when I have some free time.
– Tell us about your childhood! When did you first feel that football was your path?
– It’s not easy to play football in Africa. When I was 16, I played for the Nigerian national team at the U17 World Cup in Brazil and that’s when I felt it was my way. Later I came to Europe for trials, to Albania and finally to Debrecen.
– You seem extremely motivated in every training session and match. Is that typical of you?
– Yes, I am always hungry for success, always motivated and always pushing myself. That’s how I am!
– What are your next football goals?
– I want to keep improving, because when I played in Albania, I dreamed of better and stronger championships, and that came true with DVSC. Of course, I have to keep learning so that I can hope for the best.
The rehabilitation of DVSC player Erik Kusnyir, who suffered a cruciate ligament rupture, is underway. The 24-year-old footballer was seriously injured in the match against Újpest, so surgery was inevitable. The surgery in Germany went well and Erik is looking forward to the upcoming period.
“I’m over the bad period, I feel good now. After the surgery, I was in a lot of pain, but in the next few days I will be able to leave the crutches and start working hard,” said Erik Kusnyir, who remembers the exact moment of the injury. “I heard a small crack and I suspected it wouldn’t end well, unfortunately, the examinations proved it. I’ve been through a lot, but I got a lot of help. My friends, family, and wife kept me going, and the support of my teammates was very comforting. We are like a little family, it was good for my soul that they thought of me, I owe them a big thankfulness.”
Our player follows the team’s performance, and even if not on the field, he is there in spirit with his teammates. “We had small “ups and downs”, we were not lucky in the matches against Mezőkövesd and Paks, but the ZTE match was wonderful, where we converted almost all our chances into goals.”
Erik Kusnyir is preparing for his return as soon as possible. “For the moment, I have two sessions a day, which include treatments and strengthening. My recovery is in the right phase, fortunately, everything is going well and I’m looking forward to the next steps.”
We wish Erik Kusnyir all the best for a full and speedy recovery!
