Both managers spoke to the media after the match
"We began the game by attacking a lot, but the Szombathely side kept on giving away fouls, which broke the rhythm of the opening period. This made it hard for us to get near their goal, especially if they were getting away with it. This made it difficult to create any goal scoring chances. I am still proud of my players, that despite the short time to prepare for the game, we carried out well what we had talked about, and what he had expected from them. We changed things around in the second half. Those things that did not go for us in the first period, I am thinking for example about the bad decisions when it came to the final pass, improved in the second half. This helped us to score two quick goals, and we went on to finally win the match. I felt that the red card given to Szolnoki was correct, as it was a sliding tackle from behind."
"We went out on to the pitch today with a new formation. We prepared for the likelihood of Videoton playing with two centre forwards against us. This resulted in us playing with three central defenders. I felt that my team were a bit disturbed in the opening 5-10 minutes, but there were no problems after that. The home side had more possession of the ball, while we defended well. I felt that we were the better side in the second half, up until they scored the goal. I was forced to bring off Guzmics, who picked up an injury, and we fell apart at the back, which the home side quickly took advantage of. We tried everything when we were two goals down, first we ended up having a man advantage, and then we managed to score a consolation goal. We made things very hard for Videoton in the last 10 minutes, and I thought that we were worth a point, when you look at the overall match."
