Through to the next round: Veszprém-DVSC 0-2

DVSC played at the home of the third-division Veszprém on Saturday in order to secure a spot among the best 32 in the MOL Hungarian Cup. Among the starting XI, there were some players who have had less playing opportunity so far.

At the very beginning of the match, Loki took the initiative, supported by a great number of Debrecen fans. The first bigger chance came in the 7th minute, when the goalkeeper of Veszprém performed a feat in order to deny Soma Szuhodovszki’s header. In the 11th minute, Álex Bermejo shot the ball over the goal from 12 meters, then in the 22nd minute, Donát Bárány’s header missed the target.

In the second part of the 1st half, our team took the lead. After a great cross from Botond Vajda in the 35th minute, György Komáromi shot the ball into the left side of the goal from 11 meters, scoring his first goal in DVSC (0-1).

As expected, Loki dominated in the 2nd half as well. In the 49th minute, Soma Szuhodovszki shot just wide off the goal from 15 meters. Our midfielder has almost scored from a free-kick as well, but the home goalkeeper made a great save.

At the beginning of the last 30 minutes, DVSC was awarded a penalty due to a handball. In the 63rd minute, Donát Bárány converted the penalty with a cool head (0-2). Thus, advancement to the next round has been decided. In the remaining time, the substitutions came on (both Victor Camarasa and Dénes Szakál debuted in an official match). Even though there were more chances, the score remained unchanged. Thus, Loki confidently progressed to the next round. The draw will be on Sunday, starting from 6.45 pm.

Loki will play the next match against Kisvárda in the league.

One such figure is the average attendance, which is one of the most important indicators for a club. After six rounds in the 2025/26 season of Fizz Liga, DVSC’s matches drawn the largest crowds, with an average of 9,851 spectators. Even though two our of three home matches were major derbies (against Nyíregyháza and FTC), this number is still remarkable. Behind Loki, Ferencváros ranks second, while Újpest is the third on the list. Thank you for your support! Hajrá, Loki!

No points this time: DVSC – Ferencváros 0-3

DVSC, which started the championship well and was on the podium after 5 rounds, hosted the title defender Ferencváros in front of full stands on Sunday evening. Julien Dacosta, Adrian Guerrero and Erik Kusnyir were not in the squad. However, Joshua Mejias was among the starting XI.

Two of our top players have recently reached a great milestone. Our excellent defender, Ádám Lang made his 100th appearance in the first division, while our captain, Balázs Dzsudzsák has worn the DVSC jersey already during 200 matches. Before the match, Ádám Lang was greeted by Balázs Makray, director of institutional and strategic relations, while Balázs Dzsudzsák by president Ike Thierry Zaengel.

At the beginning of the match, both teams showed a tactical play. In the 8th minute, Szalai tried from distance, but the ball went over the goal. Not long after, Josua Mejias made a great save right in front of the goal. Ferencváros dominated and in the 13th minute, Kanichowsky hit the bar, then Ádám Varga made a brilliant save to deny Pesic’s header. In the 14th minute, he could not help as Barnabás Varga headed the ball into the right side of the goal after a corner (0-1).

Loki had a tough challenge, playing against a team, which competes in the Europa League. In the 24th minute, it looked like the guest team have doubled their advantage with Cadu’s close-range shot, but the goal was disallowed for offside. As halftime approached, the game became more balanced at times. In the 39th minute, Dibusz saved Donát Bárány’s shot. Still, Ferencváros managed to score again before the break. In the 40th minute, after a smoothly executed move, Barnabás Varga slotted the ball home from 10 meters (0-2).

Botond Vajda came on for the 2nd half and DVSC tried to get closer to their opponent. In the 50th minute, Dominik Kocsis made a run on the left side, crossed the ball into the centre and Bárány Donát shot the ball into the far corner from 11 meters. However, the VAR disallowed the goal for offside. In the 54th minute, Tamás Szűcs shot wide off the goal and Loki’s performance was much better.

Both teams had some chances in the next minutes, but the goalkeepers had less to do at these times. Dejan Djokic came off the bench for the last 20 minutes as well as Dorde Gordic (later Flórián Cibla came on and Pape Sissoko, who made his debut). In the 73rd minute, Tamás Szűcs almost scored, but Dibusz performed a huge save.

In the final minutes, Ferencváros scored again as Gruber shot the ball into the bottom left corner from 20 meters (0-3). FTC won and DVSC did not earn any points this time. Due to the World Cup qualifiers, there will be an international break in the league. The next match of Loki will be on September 13 against Veszprém in the Hungarian Cup.

According to the coach

Sergio Navarro: I am really sorry for this defeat as the players have worked hard recently. Ferencváros was better in the 1st half, but after the break, we could show our own play and had chances too.

Robbie Keane: We played very well in the 1st half and dominated. After the break, I was not totally satisfied, but our main goal was to win and we did that.

The last 30 minutes were very exciting. Álex Bermejo came off the bench, and later, György Komáromi also came on as a substitution. Both teams could have decided the match, but it was Loki that did so. In the 86th minute, after Tamás Szűcs’ 19-meter shot took a deflection, the ball ended up in the left side of the net (1-2).
