After a long break, DVSC played again at home on Saturday evening and the top-of-the-table clash against Győr promised an exciting battle. Maximilian Hofmann, Dejan Djokic, Víctor Camarasa and Erik Kusnyir were not in the squad. However, among the starting XI were Julien Dacosta and Vajda Botond as well.

Since it’s already October, our team also highlighted the importance of breast cancer prevention before the match. Botond Vajda was celebrated as he had already made 50 appearances in the first-division in the colours of Loki.

At the very beginning of the match, it was mainly Győr trying to create chances, but they were unable to pose any serious threat in front of the goal of Debrecen. However, Loki could do so at the other side: in the 13rd minute, Petrás made a brilliant save to deny Botond Vajda’s shot from 13 meters. After that, the duels were dominating, but in the 19th minute Ádám Varga saved the close-range header of Csinger.

In the second part of the 1st half, Győr had more possession of the ball and they scored, but it was flagged for offside. In the 32nd minute, Balázs Dzsudzsák unleashed a powerful shot, which went over the goal. Until the break, Donát Bárány also had one attempt, but no bigger chances were created and there was a tactical battle on the pitch. Nevertheless, Ádám Varga had to perform one feat during the extra time.

DVSC started the 2nd half more actively and took the lead as well! In the 49th minute, Balázs Dzsudzsák fantastically curled the ball into the upper right corner of the goal from a free-kick from 17 meters (1-0).

Győr missed a one-on-one opportunity, then in the 60th minute, Petrás saved Dominik Kocsis’s shot. The excitement and the pace intensified as both teams gave their all in the last 30 minutes. In one situation, the ball accidentally hit Ádám Lang’s hand inside the box and after a VAR review, the referee awarded a penalty. Anton converted the penalty in the 66th minute (1-1).

Dorde Gordic came on for the endgame (later Bence Batik and Márk Szécsi also came off the bench), the game was intense and both teams had some dangerous chances. In the 75th minute, the goalkeeper of Győr saved the close-range header of Donát Bárány, then in the 80th minute, Ádám Varga made a brilliant save. There were some more chances in the final minutes as well, but no more goals were scored, so two good teams shared the points.

We will continue in two weeks in Paks.

According to the coach

Sergio Navarro: It was a tough game against one of the best teams in the league. In the first half, we had to adapt to the system of Győr, which we managed to do. After the break, we took the lead, but it ended in a draw. I’m happy for the team’s performance and the progress is continuous.

Balázs Borbély: It was an interesting match, regarding tactics and quality the two teams played a similar style. Maybe we were closer to the victory, but football is all about scoring goals.

After the successful trip to Kisvárda, DVSC continued the league at the home of Diósgyőr on Saturday. Bence Batik, Maximilian Hofmann, Víctor Camarasa and Erik Kusnyir were missing, but Julien Dacosta was back in the starting XI.

The match started at a good pace and mainly with attempts from the home team. In the 3rd minute, Vallejo shot the ball over the goal from 13 meters, then in the 5th minute, Álex Bermejo made a shot towards the long corner from within the box, but Sentic made a brilliant save. After that DVSC had more possession of the ball, but in the 12th minute, Vallejo found himself in a scoring opportunity again, but he missed the target as well as Acolatse.

After Álex Bermejo’s shot in the 14th minute, the home goalkeeper punched the ball away from under the bar. In the 16th minute, Sentic made a great save to deny Donát Bárány’s close-range header. The goal seemed imminent, but chances were missed on both sides. In the 27th minute, Ádám Varga confidently stopped Babos’ attempt, then a quickly quiter phase of the game began. The play became more vivid before the break: in the 39th minute, Tamás Szűcs’s long-range shot was deflected and only narrowly missed the target. In the 45th minute, Dominik Kocsis made a fine run, but his close-range effort struck the right post and bounced out, so the first half ended without any goals.

At the very beginning of the second half, Sentic saved Balázs Dzsudzsák’s shot and it was more likely that DVSC would score. During this period, Loki’s dominance in possession was clear. In the 54th minute, Sentic saved Álex Bermejo’s shot, while at the other end, Acolatse’s curling shot went just wide.

Soma Szuhodovszki came off the bench for the last 30 minutes (later Botond Vajda, György Komáromi and Márk Szécsi also came on) and the fight intensified. DVSC had more attempts during the endgame, but could not score the winning goal. However, it is a valuable point, earned in Diósgyőr.

The next match will be against Győr on October 4 at Nagyerdei Stadium.

According to the coach

Vladimir Radenkovic: It was a really tough match for us. We knew how good Debrecen was. Overall, we did a good job, but we should have led more dangerous attacks. I am proud of the players. We have been unbeaten for five rounds, so the direction is good.

Sergio Navarro: I am really satisfied with the team. It was a good match, we had a plan, which worked and we could have won. Finally, we earned one point, but it can also give us confidence for the future.

DVSC secured an important victory with Donát Bárány’s goal in Kisvárda. Our players’ performance has been recognized by the professional press as well. At M4 Sport, Ádám Lang was among the best players of the 7th round, while Csakfoci named Márk Szécsi and Adrian Guerrero in the team of the round. Botond Vajda was chosen as one of the best substitutions of the matchday. Nemzeti Sport nominated Donát Bárány for the team of the round with a rating of 7.

After the international break and successful cup round, DVSC continued the league in Kisvárda on Sunday. Bence Batik, Maximilian Hofmann and Erik Kusnyir were missing from the sqaud. However, among the starting XI were Adrian Guerrero, Amos Youga and Álex Bermejo too.

At the very beginning of the match, Loki dominated and in the 2nd minute, the goalkeeper of Kisvárda saved Álex Bermejo’s long-range attempt. After that the play became more balanced, and in the 16th minute, the home goalkeeper saved Balázs Dzsudzsák’s cross, but no bigger chances arouse.

In the 22nd minute, Szabó took on a free-kick from close-range, but Ádám Varga managed to save the acute curl. After that the defenders blocked Balázs Dzsudzsák’s powerful shot. There were a lot of duels and it looked obvious that the team that scores first, will take a huge step towards the victory. In the 37th minute, Bárány Donát’s shot bounced off a defender, but no goals were scored until the break.

The 2nd half started with a one-on-one opportunity for Loki. In the 47th minute, the goalkeeper saved Bárány Donát’s shot from 11 meters with his leg, but Kisvárda also had a chance as Szabó made a powerful shot from 12 meters, which hit the left post. Neither team was able to gain the upper hand, so the last half an hour promised to be very exciting.

The excitements did come: Donát Bárány was fouled in a clear scoring chance that would have meant a red card, but the referee signaled an offside. The VAR confirmed the decision, though it did not seem like that. Fran Manzanara and Botond Vajda came on (later joined by György Komáromi), while DVSC tried to mobilize its remaining reserves of energy. In the final minutes, the most dangerous situations arouse in front of the goal of Kisvárda. In the 75th minute, Dominik Kocsis, hit the left post from 15 meters at the end a great action.

Then, the Loki goal came in the 81st minute! Adrian Guerrero made a great cross from the left and Donát Bárány made a diving header from close-range into the goal of Popovics (0-1). This goal meant three points and an important victory, even though Kisvárda also hit the bar during the extra time. Thus, DVSC is the second in the table.

The next match will be on Saturday against Diósgyőr.

According to the coach

Máté Gerliczki: It was a fairly even match. I feel that in the second half we took the initiative, but we weren’t the ones that scored. There can be no complaints about the players.

Sergio Navarro: We expected a tough match and trained hard for that. We had a plan, which we could carry out in the end. I’m happy that we managed to score and we win, and I’m satisfied with our performance.

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.

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).

Welcome to Loki!

Due to the World Cup qualifiers, the league is on a break, so we could have a look at some statistics. 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!

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 100^th 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 8^th 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 13^th minute, Kanichowsky hit the bar, then Ádám Varga made a brilliant save to deny Pesic’s header. In the 14^th 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 24^th 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 39^th minute, Dibusz saved Donát Bárány’s shot. Still, Ferencváros managed to score again before the break. In the 40^th minute, after a smoothly executed move, Barnabás Varga slotted the ball home from 10 meters (0-2).

Botond Vajda came on for the 2^nd half and DVSC tried to get closer to their opponent. In the 50^th 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 54^th 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 73^rd 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 1^st half, but after the break, we could show our own play and had chances too.

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

A difficult task was ahead of DVSC on Friday evening, playing at the home of the leader of the table, Puskás Akadémia, in the 5th round. Julien Dacosta, Adrian Guerrero and Erik Kusnyir were out of the squad, but Ádám Lang was back in the starting XI. Vyacheslav Kulbachuk was also in the starting line-up.

At the very beginning of the match, DVSC had more possession and led several dangerous attacks. In the 6th minute, Szappanos made a brilliant save to deny Dominik Kocsis’ shot from 13 meters. DVSC played well, our players showed good performance and the teamwork was also great, which confused the home team at times.

In the next minutes, Loki controlled the match, but in the 24th minute, Ádám Varga also had to perform a save to deny Lukács’ shot. In the second part of the 1st half, the home team increased their possession of the ball. In the 30th minute, Varga denied Markgráf’s cross as well. In the 45th minute, DVSC took the lead, which was well-deserved. Dominik Kocsis ran past his defender on the left, he crossed the ball to the centre and the arriving Balázs Dzsudzsák shot it beautifully into the net from 14 meters (0-1).

The 2nd half began with tough duels and Loki still dominated. For some time, no big chances arouse, but in the 60th minute, Ádám Varga denied Nissila’s powerful shot. In the 62nd minute, Puskás Akadémia equalized. Lukács shot the ball under the bar from 15 meters (1-1).

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). What’s more, at the beginning of extra time, following a free-kick from Balázs Dzsudzsák, Vyacheslav Kulbachuk sealed the victory with a confident header from 11 meters (1-3). DVSC earned a deserved and great victory!

The next match will be next Sunday, on August 31, against FTC in Debrecen.

According to the coach

Zsolt Hornyák: Congratulations to Debrecen. When the score was 1-1, I felt that we could have won, but in the final minutes, DVSC scored. We lost a lot of duels, which I did not like, as well as using our chances. We missed Duarte a lot.

Sergio Navarro: I’m satisfied with our performance, it was a good match against one of the best teams in Hungary. The first half was the best, which we have showed until now, and after the equalizer, we fought and wanted to win. We are continuously improving and want to improve.
