I would like to share with you some very exciting news regarding our beloved Club. After a lenghty consideration and thorough deliberation I made a decision to join the Club into a professional international multi-club organization called Five Eleven. The new partners’ persistent interest and commitment to DVSC convinced all of us that, by working together, we will be able to unlock the club’s enormous potential in the long term. So starting next season, we will have the opportunity to collaborate with a new and highly experienced football management team, whom all have great track record in the highest level of european club football. Five Eleven Capital already acquired minority stake in the Club and the group CEO, Martin Ink, will join to the board of directors of DVSC.
I am confident that this partnership will support DVSC’s continued growth and long-term sustainability. I firmly believe that the future of global football lies in the strength and vision of multi-club organizations, and this step aligns with that forward-looking approach.
I will keep you updated on all important developments and decisions as we move forward together.
After the important victory over Kecskemét, DVSC hosted the well-performing Diósgyőr on Saturday evening at Nagyerdei Stadium. The ultras of DVSC and DVTK arrived at the match in a joint march, symbolizing friendship. Donát Pálfi, who made his debut in the previous round, saved the goal of Loki again, while Soma Szuhodovszki was among the starting XI.
The match started at a vivid pace, the play was dynamic. In the 12th minute Loki created the first dangerous chance, when Amos Youga unleashed a powerful shot from 19 meters, but it went just wide off the goal. However, in the 17th minute, the opponent took the lead. After a short back pass, Edomwonyi converted the one-on-one opportunity, he dribbled Pálfi and rolled the ball into the net (0-1).
In the next minutes, the goalkeeper of Diósgyőr saved Botond Vajda’s shot, the in the 21st minute, Odincov made a brilliant save to deny Brandon Domingues’ close-range shot. Then, in the 25th minute, Loki equalized: after a cross into the middle, Donát Bárány found himself one-on-one with the goalkeeper and didn’t miss from close range (1-1). DVSC dominated in the following minutes as well, our team was continuously attacking (Malinov and Bárány also tried), but no more goals were scored until the break. In the first half, the touches inside the opponent’s box were 24 to 1 in favour of Loki.
The 2nd half also began and continued with the dominance of Debrecen. In the 52nd minute, Debrecen scored a second goal: Donát Bárány turned brilliantly past his defender and fired into the net from 13 meters out (2-1). It was the tenth goal of our homegrown striker in this season. Thus, DVSC came from behind, but it was well deserved.
In the 55th minute, DVSC scored a third goal: Amos Youga made a sensational pass, then Brandon Domingues dribbled through the defender and scored from a few meters out (3-1). Therefore, the fate of the three points was decided and Loki won against Diósgyőr after 5 years. Our team has been unbeaten for three rounds, won the last two matches and stepped out of the relegation zone. The last thirty minutes were also eventful: firstly, Donát Pálfi made a brilliant save, then in the 63rd minute, Tiehi made a shot, which hit the post. Tamás Szűcs came off the bench (later Maurides, Gergő Kocsis, Balázs Dzsudzsák and Neven Djurasek as well). In the 68th minute, Donát Bárány was fouled within the box and Loki was awarded a penalty. Bárány confidently converted the penalty and scored his third goal in the match (overall, he has already eleven goals).
In the endgame, no more goals were scored. DVSC played well, so it was a confident and well-deserved victory. The next match will be next Sunday away against Újpest.
According to the coach
Nestor El Maestro: The most important thing is that we are above the line again and our destiny is in our hands. We have two stay with two feet on the ground as we need more victories. In this match, we had the best result and showed the best performance.
Valdas Dambrauskas: Congratulations to Debrecen, they deserved to win. I would to apologize to our fans, we showed our worse face and nothing went our way. We had problems and could not start with the best starting XI, but I don’t want to use them as an excuse.
DVSC signed the 36-year-old Shuichi Gonda. The experienced Japanese goalkeeper has had an impressive career, making 38 appearances for his country’s national team. In the 2022 World Cup, he saved the goal of Japan, where his team defeated both Germany and Spain and reached the quarterfinals.
Until February, he played for Sihimizu S-Pulse and during his career, he has won both the Asian and the Japanese Cup. Shuichi Gonda has also played in Austria and Portugal, while in the Japanese league, he has saved the goal in 299 matches. As Krisztián Hegyi got injured, he can be a great asset to our team with his experience. Welcome to Loki!
On Friday evening, DVSC played against their direct rival Kecskemét. Due to injury, Krisztián Hegyi, Tamás Szűcs, János Ferenczi, Erik Kusnyir, Bence Batik and Yacouba Silue were out of the squad, while Balázs Megyeri was also not fully fit. Our goalkeeper, Donát Pálfi made his debut in the Hungarian top league. Among the starting XI were both of our strikers, Donát Bárány and Maurides.
In the 1st minute of the match, the defenders of Kecskemét blocked Donát Bárány’s shot, so the game started at a vivid pace. Both teams tried to be determined during the transitions, and the first bigger chance came in the 7th minute in front of Márk Szécsi, who unleashed a powerful shot from 15 meters out and did not miss the target (0-1). Thus, Loki took the lead and it was obvious how much was at stake.
DVSC played well and controlled the game in general, but the home team also made a lot of efforts in the heavy rain. In the 21st minute, Loki scored again: Márk Szécsi made a great pass and Botond Vajda shot the ball into the bottom right corner from 20 meters (0-2). In the 27th minute, Kecskemét pulled one back: Pászka battered at the top left corner from 24 meters (1-2). During the extra time, after Donát Bárány’s shot from 13 meters, Kristiyan Malinov converted the rebound and Loki went on halftime with a great advantage.
Kecskemét made three substitutions for the 2nd half, while Nestor El Maestro did not make any changes. The home team increased the pressure, but DVSC stood still. In the 57th minute, Donát Bárány almost scored, but the defenders cleared in the last moment. Then, Soma Szuhodovszki came off the bench (later Gergő Kocsis, Neven Djurasek and Balázs Dzsudzsák also came on).
At the beginning of the endgame, Kecskemét made several attempts, but all of them missed the target. Our team managed to control the game and save our advantage. In the final minutes, Ádám Lang made a big save, but at the end, DVSC earned an important and well-deserved victory.
The next match will be against Diósgyőr next Saturday at Nagyerdei Stadium.
According to the coach
Zoltán Gera: We beat ourselves as we made incomprehensible mistakes, out of which we conceded goals. We couldn’t rise to the challenge.
Nestor El Maestro: It is a well-deserved victory, we prepared well for this match and we were motivated. Our wingers scored two goals, after which we tried to control our advantage. We were not perfect, but played well for 90 minutes.

On Friday, DVSC stepped onto the pitch at the home of the well-performing Győr, which has been unbeaten this year. Due to injury, János Ferenczi, Erik Kusnyir, Bence Batik and Yacouba Silue were out of the squad, while Balázs Megyeri and Soma Szuhodovszki were missing due to illness. Moreover, several players took the field despite struggling with injuries. Among the starting XI was Donát Bárány, who has been scoring regularly against Győr.
At the very beginning of the match, the play was balanced and Loki had the first bigger chance in the 16th minute, but after Botond Vajda’s cross, Brandon Domingues’ shot was blocked. Following a corner, Amos Youga shot over the goal. By the middle of the first half, DVSC was obviously dominating and performed better in all aspects, but the goal was still missing.
In the 30th minute, Amos Youga unleashed a powerful shot, but it went just wide off the goal. Then, in the 31st minute, Maurides made a header, but he missed the target. Before the break, Krisztián Hegyi made a brilliant save to deny the one-on-one opportunity of Gavric. Loki played better, but during the extra time, Donát Bárány also missed his chance, so no goals were scored until the break.
At the beginning of the second half, Nije had a big chance, but he headed wide off the goal from close-range. Our team continued to lead promising attacks, but in the 54th minute, the goalkeeper saved Brandon Domingues’ shot. In the 57th minute, Petras performed two more feats to deny Domingues’ clear-cut chance. In the 62nd minute, Donát Bárány had a great chance, but he missed the target. Later, Balázs Dzsudzsák and Tamás Szűcs came on as substitutes.
The fights intensified in the last half an hour and in the 72nd minute, Tamás Szűcs was close to scoring. During the endgame, both teams had their attempts, but it stayed a draw. Based on the chances and play, Loki would have deserved the victory.
The next match will be after the international break on March 28 away in Kecskemét.
According to the coach
Balázs Borbély: It was a fast-paced match with plenty of chances. In the first half, Debrecen played well and surprised us with their five-defender formation. After the break, we were pushed back a bit, but we also had dangerous counter-attacks. In the last 30 minutes, we managed to take control, though overall, DVSC may have been slightly closer to victory.
Nestor El Maestro: My players were organized and played with passion. As the match progressed, they have showed more quality. We were closer to scoring and we played better today, but we have to go home with one point. We will continue the fight.

On Sunday, DVSC hosted the title defender Ferencváros, so there was an amazing atmosphere at Nagyerdei Stadium. Our club also prepared a surprise on the occasion of Women’s Day as the players of both teams were escorted onto the pitch by a beloved woman in their life (wife, mother, girlfriend, sister, daughter). Due to injury, Donát Bárány, János Ferenczi, Erik Kusnyir, Bence Batik and Yacouba Silue were out of the squad and Botond Vajda wasn’t fully fit either. However, Amos Youga was back in the starting XI.
The match started with a good pace as both teams were extremely motivated, but there were no dangerous chances in front of the goals at the beginning. In the 9th minute, Ádám lang headed over the goal after a corner, then in the 17th minute, Brandon Domingues nodded the ball just wide off the goal. On the other side, Saldanha found himself in a one-on-one opportunity in the 15th minute, but he missed the target.
In the 28th minute, Dibusz saved the header of Maurides. Loki played well and organized, but after Domingues was pulled down, the VAR did not sign a penalty. However, in the 35th minute, Ferencváros took the lead. Saldanha dribbled down to the baseline on the left side and crossed the ball to the centre, and Pesic curled it into the net from close range. Krisztián Hegyi could only get a hand on the ball (0-1). As an answer to that, Amos Youga unleashed a powerful shot from a distance, but it went wide off the goal. Thus, DVSC went on a break with a disadvantage.
The second half was also full of intense fights. Botond Vajda came off the bench for the last 30 minutes (later Soma Szuhodovszki and Dominik Kocsis also came on) and Loki did the maximum in order to equalize. In the 66th minute, Balázs Dzsudzsák shot over the goal. There were a lot of duels and it was hard to break through the defence of FTC.
At the beginning of the endgame, Krisztián Hegyi performed a feat, then Maurides headed wide off the goal. Even though our team was fighting (Romao was even sent off the pitch at the end), we could not secure any points.
The next match will be away against Győr on Friday.
According to the coach
Nestor El Maestro: We are disappointed because we played well and did not deserve to lose. The small details were not falling our way. We have to continue fighting and working. We have to perform on this level minimum 10 more times and we hope that it will be enough.
Robbie Keane: I’m very happy for the 3 points and the mentality that we showed. I know that it is difficult to win here.

An extremely important match was ahead of DVSC on March 2, hosting the direct rival Fehérvár at Nagyerdei Stadium. Amos Youga, János Ferenczi, Erik Kusnyir, Bence Batik and Yacouba Silue were missing due to injuries. Among the starting XI were Henrik Castegren and Tamás Szűcs, while Donát Bárány, who felt pain in his leg, was sitting on the bench.
The match started with some moments of celebration. Márk Szécsi has recently made his 200th appearance for DVSC, while Donát Bárány has reached his 100th match in the colours of Loki. On this occasion, our club’s management, president Ike Thierry Zaengel and managing director Balázs Makray greeted our homegrown players.
The match began with tough duels, then in the 8th minute, after a short pass from Malinov, Fehérvár took the ball and the lead as well. Saponjic found himself in a one-on-one opportunity, which he didn’t miss: he dribbled past Hegyi and shot the ball into the net (0-1). Loki immediately increased the pressure and in the 19th minute, Dala made a brilliant save to deny Maurides’ shot. DVSC was dominating and in the 24th minute, the goalkeeper saved Balázs Dzsudzsák’s long-range attempt, then Maurides made a header, which went over the goal. Until the break, our team attacked almost continuously, but we couldn’t score before halftime due to many inaccuracies. Moreover, in the 44th minute, Soma Szuhodovszki missed a clear chance.
Donát Bárány came on for the 2nd half and Loki pushed for an equalizer, but it was Fehérvár that scored again. In the 53rd minute, after a well-worked attack, Mátyás Katona slotted the ball into the net from a few meters out (0-2). Thus, Loki continued from a difficult position, but managed to pull one back in the 59th minute: Brandon Domingues took the ball, he deceived the goalkeeper and rolled the ball into the net from close-range (1-2).
The excitement increased and in the 70th minute, Maurides headed the ball over the goal. DVSC pressed, but Dala saved Donát Bárány’s header, so our team could not equalize. Thus, the match ended in a painful defeat for Loki.
The next match will be against Ferencváros in Debrecen.
According to the coach
Nestor El Maestro: In football, everything is about the result, so I would prefer not to go into a deep analysis. 11 matches left and we are 5 points below the line. We are in a difficult situation, but it’s not impossible. We need a series of good results.
Tamás Pető: We have achieved what we caame here for. Mentally, these are very important 3 points for us.

DVSC continued the championship at the home of Paks, a team that was currently on the podium in the table. Due to injuries, Amos Youga, János Ferenczi, Erik Kusnyir, Bence Batik and Yacouba Silue were out of the squad, however, Brandon Domingues was back after his suspension. For the first time among the starting XI was the recently signed Swedish player of Loki, Henrik Castegren.
At the beginning of the game, Paks tried to put pressure on Loki, but our team did not allow the home team to create serious chances. A few minutes later, DVSC also led some dynamic attacks, however, in the 11th minute, Krisztián Hegyi had to save the attempt of Ötvös. It was a tough fight, but the goals weren’t in danger until the 23rd minute, when Szappanos saved Donát Bárány’s close-range curl. Not long after, Maurides curled the ball, but it went just wide off the goal.
In the second part of the 1st half, the play was balanced and there were lots of duels. In the 31st minute, Soma Szuhodovszki headed wide off the goal at the end of a great action. In the 33rd minute, the referee awarded a penalty for Paks when Lenzsér went down inside the box next to Brandon Domingues. Martin Ádám converted the penalty (1-0). In the 38th minute, Silye also found the net with a long-range shot, blasting the ball under the crossbar from 13 meters out (2-0). Thus, the home team went on a break with a significant advantage.
Balázs Dzsudzsák came on for the 2nd half and Loki was pushing for a comeback. In the 51st minute, Kristiyan Malinov shot over the goal from 17 meters and by that time, our team already had more possession of the ball. Dominik Kocsis also came on, but for some time, the home goalkeeper didn’t have to make any saves.
Then, in the 64th minute, we managed to pull one back! After a corner, Brandon Domingues arrived at the far post and slotted the ball into the net from close-range (2-1). The game became close again, but in the meanwhile, Krisztián Hegyi had to perform a feat in order to deny Ádám’s one-on-one opportunity. In the 70th minute, Loki equalized! After a great free-kick from Balázs Dzsudzsák, Maurides headed the goal into the net from 7 meters (2-2). In the 73rd minute, Paks reacted. Könyves, who came on as a substitute, curled the ball into the far corner from 12 meters (3-2).
DVSC tried everything in the final minutes, but could not equalize. Moreover, in the 89th minute, Könyves converted his one-on-one opportunity and secured the tree points for the home team. Maurides’ fine header was merely a consolation goal (4-3).
The next match will be on Sunday against Fehérvár at Nagyerdei Stadium.
According to the coach
György Bognár: The final score doesn’t fully reflect the game; we could have won by a larger margin. It was a well-deserved victory.
Nestor El Maestro: Once again, we were competitive against our opponent, regardless of their position in the table. We had both good and bad periods during the match, but in the end, we couldn’t secure any points. We need to change this quickly as there are only 12 matches left.

The 24-year-old striker of Loki, Donát Bárány, has reached his 100th league appearance for DVSC. The forward is performing excellently this season as well, leading the club’s scoring chart with 8 goals and ranking 3rd overall in the league’s top scorer table.
“Reaching this milestone makes me happy and proud. Out of the 100 matches, my debut during the victory against Budaörs in the second division is particularly memorable for me, as well as my debut in the first division, where I scored and we won 4-1 away against Honvéd. Another great memory is my hat-trick in the 5-3 match against Ajka, and of course, my three goals against FTC last December”, told Bárány Donát to dvsc.hu.
Dodó, who is very popular, has already scored 36 league goals in DVSC. Congratulations on this achievement and his 100th matches in Loki!
