"We were really looking forward to our first competitive match"

"We have had a very tough pre-season and you could already see the work we have put in during Saturday's game. The whole team were really looking forward to our first key match, and we managed to play well with lots of concentration. I would like to pay tribute to the groundstaff at the Sostoi stadium for making the pitch playable. The circumstances did not help our passing game at all, with the pitch being very deep, but I felt that we carried out what we had to. The result gives us plenty of hope for the return leg. Another second division side awaits us in the event that we make it through to the next round. This will only appear to be an easy game from the outside, but it will be completely different from within. Everyone needs to take those games against smaller sides even more seriously. This is the only way that we can achieve good results. I do not have to say that we would like to win both the Hungarian cup and the league cup. We still have plenty of catching up to make in the league, but a good run could see us even make it to top place" - said young midfielder Istvan Kovacs
