Balázs Dzsudzsák shot wide off the goal, thus, no goals were scored until the break. However, our team showed a good performance.

In the 56th minute, Donát Bárány found himself in a one-on-one opportunity, but Gróf made a save. In the last 30 minutes, FTC tried to change the course of the game with substitutions, but still could not gain the upper hand over Loki.

During the endgame, Balázs Dzsudzsák felt some pain his legs, and Álex Bermejo and György Komáromi came off the bench. DVSC took the lead in the 74th minute! After a pass from Komáromi, Donát Bárány turned towards the goal inside the penalty area and fired into the net from 10 metres (0–1). In the final moments DVSC greatly defended their lead and, fighting hard, secured an extremely valuable victory. This was the sixth win in Loki’s history away against Ferencváros and the second one at Groupama Arena. Well done, guys!

The next match will be against Kisvárda at Nagyerdei Stadium.

NO POINTS THIS TIME: DVSC-PUSKÁS AKADÉMIA 0-1

DVSC, which has been performing well, hosted Puskás Akadémia, a team of considerable strength on Saturday afternoon at Nagyerdei Stadium. Tamás Szűcs, who has suffered a concussion in Nyíregyháza, could not play, but Dorde Gordic and Flórián Cibla were among the starting XI.

The match began with a minute of silence in memory of two former players. Ernő Tóth, aged 68, has passed away, the hero of the 1979 promotion match against Nyíregyháza. In that memorable encounter, Loki defeated their arch-rival 2–1 in front of 28,000 spectators, thereby returning to the top division after 15 years. The winning goal was scored by Ernő Tóth from a penalty, forever inscribing his name in the golden book of Debrecen football. Altogether, he wore the Debrecen jersey in 71 NBI and 70 NBII league matches, scoring 22 goals. Another former player, Zoltán Kovács, has also passed away at the age of 66. Kovács played for Loki in 1984 and later in the ranks of Debreceni Kinizsi. We preserve the memory of our former players!

DVSC has once again joined the traditional chocolate-collection campaign launched by BAGE to support disadvantaged children. The collected donations were symbolically handed over by managing director Balázs Makray to Lajos Buzás, the representative of BAGE.

Debrecen was dominating at the beginning, but Puskás had a clear-cut chance in the 3rd minute, but Lukács missed the target. et. Overall, it was a tight tactical battle on the pitch, with no major opportunities. In the 22nd minute, Balázs Dzsudzsák shot wide off the goal, while at the other end the visitors, were stopped several times by offside. However, there was no offside in the 36th minute, when Zsolt Nagy broke through one-on-one and converted the chance, with Ádám Varga only managing to get a hand to the ball (0–1).

At the beginning of the second half, Loki was attacking, and in the 50th minute, Szappanos made a brilliant save to deny Balázs Dzsudzsák’s 23-metre free kick. The atmosphere began to heat up, with more and more duels on the pitch. During this period the Debrecen goal seemed to be coming; Donát Bárány entered the field, later followed by György Komáromi, Márk Szécsi and Pape Sissoko.

In the final third of the match DVSC tried everything in order to equalize, but could not do so, thus, the team left without points. The next match will be on Sunday away against Ferencváros.

According to the coach

Sergio Navarro: We knew we were playing against one of the best teams. In the second half we played better football, had chances and could have been awarded a penalty. We could have won the match — we definitely deserved more. In any case, we will analyse the mistakes, learn from them and keep working.

Zsolt Hornyák: These three points are very valuable, it was a difficult match. We could have decided the game in the first half, but after the break DVSC put huge pressure on us, and they were close to the equalizer. We will need better finishing in the future.

GREAT VICTORY IN THE DERBY: NYíREGYHÁZA-DVSC 0-3

A classic derby was ahead of DVSC in the 15th round of Fizz Liga, playing at the home of its ancient rival, Nyíregyháza on a cool Friday evening. Our team wasn’t left without support as the away sector was full with our fans. Among the starting XI were Julien Dacosta, Bence Batik and Dorde Gordic as well.

At the beginning of the match, the home team tried to put pressure on Loki, but the first shot on target came from our team: in the 2nd minute, the goalkeeper of Nyíregyháza saved Dominik Kocsis’s attempt. What’s more, we took the lead in the 6th minute! At the end of a great attack, the ball went through Amos Youga, Balázs Dzsudzsák and Dorde Gordic, the latter giving a through pass to Soma Szuhodovszki, who confidently struck the ball into the bottom left corner from 13 meters (0-1).

In the 15th minute, Tamás Szűcs was toughly fouled in the midfield, he became dizzy and had to be taken off on a stretcher. He had to be substituted and we wish him a speedy recovery!

In the 21st minute, DVSC scored again! Julien Dacosta broke into the box from the right, and after his cross the ball rebounded off a defender, allowing Dorde Gordic to fire into the right side of the net from 12 metres (0–2). There was a fierce battle on the pitch: our team played well and continued to control the match until the break, although in the 39th minute, another brilliant save from Varga was needed to stop Manner’s shot.

Nyíregyháza also tried to start the second half with pressure, but Loki kept the match under control. The home team strived for a penalty, but none of the situations involved any real fouls. The tension grew and in the 57th minute, Balázs Dzsudzsák’s shot was saved by Kovács, but the home side’s attacks also posed danger at times.

Fran Manzanara came on for the final minutes (followed by György Komáromi, Márk Szécsi and Adrián Guerrero as well), and DVSC managed the remaining time professionally. In the 82nd minute, Dominik Kocsis sealed the deal with a fine shot from 13 metres (0–3), giving Loki their first victory in Nyíregyháza in 15 years. The three points are extremely valuable and our team continues to lead the table.

The next match will be against Puskás Akadémia on December 6 at Nagyerdei Stadium.

According to the coach

Tamás Bódog: We suffered a painful defeat. It’s hard to evaluate the match. Debrecen was good and it’s no coincidence they’re in first place. We have room to improve.

Sergio Navarro: It’s an honour for me to work with these players. Our game plan worked; the players understood what we wanted to do against a strong opponent. I’m satisfied with the team. Tamás Szűcs was taken to the hospital, but as far as I know, he’s already feeling better.

Donát Bárány, Márk Szécsi and Maximilian Hofmann were out of the squad, while Cibla Flórián and Soma Szuhodovszki were among the starting XI.

Soma Szuhodovszki has reached a great milestone, playing his 50th match against ZTE in the colours of Loki. The 25-year-old player has made that match memorable with an assist, which was also necessary for the 2-1 victory. Before the match, Soma Szuhodovszki was greeted by the managing director of DVSC, Balázs Makray.

In the 40th minute, at the end of a great combination, Tamás Szűcs shot wide off the goal and no goals were scored until the break.

Bence Batik and Botond Vajda came off the bench for the last 30 minutes, the in the 70th minute, Julien Dacosta made a foul within the box. The referee awarded a penalty and Kártik converted it as Ádám Varga could only touch the ball (1-1).

The score did not change in the final minutes, though Barcika did hit the crossbar once. Thus, DVSC earned a deserved victory in a hard-fought match. The next match will be next Friday at the home of Nyíregyháza.

According to the coach

Sergio Navarro: It was a tough match. We played well in the first half, we are constantly learning and improving. We took the lead in the second half, then our opponent equalized from a penalty. After that we’ve showed a winning mentality and I’m glad for that.

Attila Kuttor: It was a good match. What we’ve planned tactically, it worked, but we could not show the quality neither in offense nor defense.

Football at a high level, with the participation of Sergio Navarro

All seats were filled for the methodological leadership masterclass organized by the Spanish Football Federation at Camilo José Cela University in Madrid, featuring Sergio Navarro, head coach of DVSC.

The event was also attended by Paco Seirul-lo, an expert of the pedagogy committee, former teacher and friend of Sergio Navarro, who has worked with Pep Guardiola, Andrés Iniesta and Louis van Gaal.

The first day of the masterclass ended with a roundtable discussion focusing on youth development management, in which DVSC’s head coach Sergio Navarro also took part, sharing important insights with the audience.

DVSC’s announcement

In recent weeks, our club has been the target of a smear campaign filled with lies and completely devoid of facts, carried out through a series of posts on X by a blogger that appears to have interests in Spain.

Every single post by this author is far removed from the facts and reality, which is why DVSC has so far refrained from responding to the slander. However, the most recent post contains specific claims that our club is now compelled to refute point by point.

According to the post, the managing director “took away the players’ breakfast and meals and dismissed the dietitian.” In contrast, the truth is that the team continues its daily nutrition and training routine as before, the coordination with the dietitian is ongoing and the specialist continues to enjoy full trust.

We hereby ask everyone to allow the coaching staff and the team to focus solely on their professional work and we call on the blogger to stop defaming the club. If this does not happen, the club will take legal action. DVSC does not intend to deal with this campaign of lies in any form in the future either, and, as before, remains focused on the progress and success of the team, which is performing well.

It didn’t go well: MTK-DVSC 3-0

DVSC has been unbeaten in Fizz Liga since August and in the 13th round, our team visited MTK, which has also been performing well, on Sunday afternoon. Loki was supported by more than 500 fans on site. Among the starting XI was Botond Vajda as well.

At the beginning of the match, both teams tried to impose their own style of play: MTK tried to threaten with quick through balls, while Loki tried to pressed their opponent high up on the pitch. The first chance came in 8th minute, but Botond Vajda shot wide off the goal from a distance. In the 13th minute, MTK earned a free-kick about 18 meters from the goal, but Bognár’s shot was blocked by the wall.

In the 20th minute, Balázs Dzsudzsák shot a free-kick from 30 meters, but Demjén made a brilliant save. Not long after, Ádám Varga also made a huge save on the other side of the pitch to deny Átrok’s close-range shot. The match was becoming more and more dynamic and both teams were dangerous. In the 34th minute, Dominik Kocsis’s shot was blocked, then Ádám Varga saved Ádin Molnár’s shot. MTK took the lead before the break: in the 38th minute, at the end of a quick attack, Átrok broke free from the defenders and used his one-on-one opportunity (1-0). Moreover, in the 43th minute, the home team doubled their advantage: Bognár found himself unmarked and made no mistake, drilling the ball into the far corner from 8 meters (2-0).

Julien Dacosta came on for the 2nd half (not long after, Dorge Gordic and Dejan Djokic also came off the bench as well as Álex Bermejo and Flórián Cibla later), and Loki tried to change the situation. Our team managed to gain upper hand in possession, but couldn’t turn it into real chances. MTK, on the other hand, scored again in the 59th minute – after a questionabla handball incident and a cross from Bognár, Ádin Molnár flicked the ball in the net from close-range (3-0).

Even though there was still time, the fate of the three points was already decided and we could not pull one back this time. Our team will spend the national team break being on the podium and the next match will be against Kazincbarcika in two weeks at Nagyerdei Stadium.

According to the coach

Dávid Horváth: We delivered a brilliant performance and showed the best play of this season in the first half. The players can be proud of themselves.

Sergio Navarro: It was a tough game and our opponent played better. In the first half, they were already leading with two goals, so we changed for the second half and tried to create chances. Congratulations to MTK!
