At the beginning of the game Habib Maiga fell badly to the ground, the medical team arrived and the midfielder was able to continue the game. We started the match with courage, first Simut and then Mátyás Kovács had chances, and in the first ten minutes we had two Vidi corner kicks.
The home team gradually took control, but they could not get past our organised defence. Then in the 22nd minute Traoré tried his luck inside the box, but Dala bravely cleared the ball. A minute later, the record champions took the lead: we missed a ball behind the defence, Saldanha was grateful for the chance and broke through on goal and rolled the ball into the net (1-0).
Our team was not caught out by the goal, Huszti's big throw in was flicked on and aimed at the goal by Gradisar, Dibusz had no problem with the header as he tipped it over. In the 29th minute, after another big Huszti throw-in, Spandler's headed ball was again aimed at the goal by our Slovenian striker, but Dibusz got it under the bar. Fradi had the advantage on the field, but could not create any chances. In the 40th minute, Csongvai pushed forward in a combative move, but was fouled in front of the box. Our captain took a free-kick from a good position, 17 metres out, from the centre, and his flat shot ended up in the hands of Dibusz. The second half started with a Fehérvár chance: Mátyás Kovács shot on goal in a tight position, Dibusz saved. In the 48th minute, following another defensive mistake, Dala saved Traoré's free-kick with his foot, and then also tipped away Saldanha's shot - a great stop by our young goalkeeper! In the 72nd minute, after a cross from the right, Bedi's header hit the post, and Gradisar shot the rebound into the goal, unfortunately it was flagged for offside. The rest of the game was played tactically by the Green and Whites, but for a long time we could not create any new situations in front of Dibusz's goal. Then in the 83rd minute Stefanelli raced into the box, his shot missed the far corner and Gradisar got a good ball, but couldn't control it and missed the chance. Finally, in the last minute, Huszti missed from a sharp angle.
In the 55th minute, the ball bounced off Serafimov's hands inside the box and the referee awarded a penalty! Kady calmly slotted the penalty into the right corner past the grounded Dala (2-0). In the 61st minute Kehinde fought for the ball and kicked Simut in the head, and was immediately shown a red card. In the 67th minute, Holender's ball from the touchline bounced off a defender and off the far post - no luck.
This time, the fight did not result in a goal, FTC won 2-0.
