Loki played the second the practice match of the summer preparation period at 18 pm. on Thursday behind closed doors at the DVSC Football Academy. The opponent was Kisvárda, a team playing in top division as well.

The match (2*60 minute) started in a scorching heat with both teams setting a serious pace right from the beginning. In the 2^nd minute, we could have taken the lead immediately but after a great attack, Botond Vajda shot just wide of the goal. We posed a threat with two headers, at first Loncar, then Babunski could have scored but the goalkeeper of Kisvárda made the saves. In the 29^th minute, after Loncar’s lost ball, Megyeri made a brilliant save and Szécsi’s attempt following the counter-attack missed the target. We created several chances, Ferenczi, Romanchuk and Manrique were all close to scoring but the teams went on a break with a 0-0 draw.

Both Loki and Kisvárda changed the line-up for the next 60 minutes. At the beginning of the second half, the biggest chance of the match so far was missed when, after Bévárdi’s cross, Mance headed from close-range but it hit the crossbar. The second part of the match didn’t bring many chances but a hard game. In the 102^nd minute, Dreskovic made a foul inside the box, for which the referee awarded a penalty. Camaj stepped behind the ball but our goalkeeper, Milosevic made an excellent save. A few minutes later, the opponent’s goalkeeper deflected Balázs Dzsudzsák’s attempt towards the bottom right corner for a corner kick.

In the 115^th minute, Loki took the lead when Balázs Dzsudzsák’s long-range shot deflected off an opposing player’s back and found its way into the net.
