A difficult task was ahead of DVSC in the 10th round of Fizz Liga, playing at the home of the unbeaten Paks, the leader of the table. Among the starting XI were Bence Batik and Soma Szuhodovszki as well.

The match started with an attempt from Paks as in the 2nd minute, Ádám Varga had to perform a feat in order to deny a close-range shot. As an answer to that, in the 3rd minute, Dominik Kocsis made a shot, which was blocked by the defenders. In the 4th minute, Kovácsik made a brilliant save to deny Donát Bárány’s powerful shot from 14 meters. The beginning of the match was full of action.

In the next minutes, midfield play took over, with plenty of duels and battles for every ball. In the 26th minute, Dominik Kocsis shot over the goal from 17 meters and shortly after, Bence Batik’s header was saved by the goalkeeper of Paks, so Loki joined the fight. In the 33rd minute, two home players collided badly. Fortunately, it was not that serious, though Lenzsér had to be substituted. No goals were scored until the break.

At the beginning of the 2nd half, Ádám Land had to save from the goal line after Barna Tóth’s header. However, in the 50th minute, Paks took the lead: Hahn shot the ball into the right side of the goal from 6 meters (1-0). Not long after, in the 56th minute, Donát Bárány fought for a ball and made a cross within the box, which was punched away by the goalkeeper and on the long side, Adrian Guerrero found the net with his head from a few meters out (1-1). In the following minutes, Varga made another great save to deny Tóth’s attempt. There was a huge fight on the pitch.

Álex Bermejo and György Komáromi came off the bench for the last 30 minutes and DVSC tried to have more possession of the ball. In the 72nd minute, Donát Bárány found himseld in a one-on-one opportunity, but Kovácsik cleared. Julien Dacosta, Amos Youga and Flórián Cibla came on as substitutions for the endgame and both teams tried to decide the game. Paks managed to score one goal, but it was disallowed, while Donát Bárány missed a clear-cut chance. In the end, the points were shared and Loki earned another valuable point.

The next match will be next Sunday against Újpest at Nagyerdei Stadium.

According to the coach

György Bognár: In a football match, it’s not the performance of two teams that matters only…

Sergio Navarro: It was a tough match against the favourite of the league and overall, I can be satisfied. In the first half, we defended well, while after the break, we had more difficulties, but the substitutions entered well. We even could have won the match.
