The U18 (2006) Hungarian national team is going to play a preparation match against Bosnia-Herzegovina between September 17 and 20.
Our 17-year-old goalkeeper Márk Engedi and our defender Csaba Hornyák, who is also 17, received a call-up to the national team. Good luck, guys!
On Sunday evening, there was a clash between the bronze and the silver medallist of the previous season, a rivalry game between DVSC and Kecskemét at Nagyerdei Stadium. Botond Vajda and Joao Oliveira were out of the squad because of their injuries, while Andrija Majdevac, the latest signing of DVSC, was not part of the squad yet, but János Ferenczi was sitting on the bench. Among the starting eleven were Oleksandr Romanchuk, Márk Szécsi and Ádám Bódi as well.
It was already obvious at the beginning of the match that both teams were going to have a difficult job, there were some serious duels on the midfield. In the 7th minute, Stefan Loncar a shot over the goal, then Kecskemét scored an offside goal. In the 10th minute, after Donát Bárány’s backheel pass, Balázs Dzsudzsák shot wide from a sharp angle. By the middle of the first half, the play of DVSC became more organized, our team led several nice attacks.
Yet, it was still not easy to get close to the opponent’s box but Kecskemét faced the same problem on the other side of the pitch. In the final minutes of the first half, in the 39th minute, Ádám Bódi shot from a good position but into the goalkeeper’s hands. Not long after, Márk Szécsi appeared in a clear-cut chance but he rolled the ball wide off the goal, then Balázs Megyeri made a brilliant save to deny a header. Thus, the teams went on a break without any goals scored. Before the halftime, Alexander Mojzis got injured, so Meldin Dreskovic came on as a substitute for the second half.
The battle on the pitch continued, players had to fight for the ball. In the 55th minute, Krisztofer Horváth shot over the goal from distance, but overall, mostly DVSC was dominating. Our players put a lot of energy into the game, and in the 59th minute, Stefan Loncar shot wide from 20 meters. Then, in the 62nd minute, Loki took the lead! Donát Bárány got the ball within the box, took it to the baseline, made a nice pass and Loncar confidently converted the clear-cut chance (1-0).
Moreover, in the 66th minute, Loki was leading by two goals! Balázs Dzsudzsák made a through pass to Erik Kusnyír, who dribbled the ball through the midfield and fired a shot into the bottom right corner from 11 meters (2-0). The team had to maintain the concentration but the fate of the game was already decided. DVSC won 4 out of 5 league matches and is leading the table during the international break. Our next game is going to take place on September 16, when we play against Eger in the Hungarian Cup.
According to the coach
Srdjan Blagojevic: Congratulations to my players, they were amazing regarding the tactics and the energy as well. It was one of our best matches since I work in Debrecen. We played against a very good team, leaded by a very good coach. It was a demanding game but we deserved to win. We had an idea, a plan, to which the players stuck until the end, even when we changed. I would to thank the fans for their support and I would like to ask them not to scold when they players do mistakes. We are not the best team, I’m not the best coach but we work hard in order to succeed.
István Szabó: In my opinion, the first half could be considered as equal, there was a good pace and a lot of duels. In the second half, Debrecen imposed their will on us, and we made a few mistakes in positioning. It hurts me that after the break, we lacked creativity in our attacks. DVSC deserved the victory.

After three victories in the league, Loki stepped onto the pitch with an unbroken desire to win against MTK on Sunday afternoon at Nagyerdei Stadium. Botond Vajda and Joao Oliveira were out of the squad because of their injuries, while Erik Kusnyír was in the starting eleven as a left-back this time. Donát Bárány was also on the pitch from the beginning, with Alexandros Kyziridis and Brandon Domingues on the two wings.
The match started in a scorching heat, and what’s more, with a Loki goal! In the 7th minute, Donát Bárány stepped out from the circle of defenders with a fantastic pass, took the ball past the goalkeeper and confidently rolled it into the net (1-0).
However, MTK quickly responded and after a scramble following a corner-kick, Bobál scored from close range into the bottom left corner (1-1). Moreover, in the 13th minute, the guest team was already leading as István Bognár found himself in a one-on-one situation and he didn’t miss: he blasted the ball into the far corner from 13 meters (1-2). Thus, DVSC was at a disadvantage and had to strive for an equalizer.
There was a water break in the 34th minute, after which came the attacks of Debrecen: in the 26th minute, Stefan Loncar shot over the goal from 19 meters and in the 27th minute, Brandon Domingues also made a nice shot from close range but he missed it. In the final minutes of the first half, Loki was obviously dominating but no equalizer came until the break.

I don’t want to put the finger on someone concerning who made the mistakes, we have to continue the work in order to win during the next match. I still believe in the team.
