OTP Bank Liga 2023/2024

The first preparation match is over: DVSC-Ploiesti 1-0

On Thursday afternoon, DVSC played the first preparation match of the training camp in Turkey against Petrolul Ploiesti, which occupies the 10th place in the Romanian first division. Due to illness and smaller injury, Balázs Dzsudzsák, Balázs Megyeri, Ádám Bódi, Alexandros Kyziridis, Alexander Mojzis and Flórián Cibla were not playing out of precaution.

At the very beginning of the first half, the goalkeeper of Petrolul saved the 14-meter shot of Donát Bárány, then in the 8th minute, our homegrown striker had another chance but the ball did not find the net. Loki was dominating more, and at the end of the first quarter, the goalkeeper saved Stefan Loncar’s shot. The course of the game did not change in the continuation as well: in the 36th minute, Zsombor Bévárdi took on a free-kick from close-range and narrowly missed it, however, Benedek Erdélyi also had two perform two good saves before the break.  

In the second half, our team was still dominating and playing more attractively. So, in the 59th minute, Loki took the lead: Joao Oliveira passed to Botond Vajda, who broke into the box and shot the ball to the bottom right corner from 13 meters (1-0). Later on, our team was playing better, and in the 73rd minute, Tamás Batai headed just wide of the goal. No more goals were scored during the final minutes, so it was a deserved victory for Loki. It is important to note that 7 players under the age of 21 received an opportunity to play, moreover, there was only one player over the age of 30, János Ferenczi. We will continue next Tuesday against the Polish Cracovia.
