Videoton were in league action on Sunday afternoon against a Lombard Papa side, which had picked up some useful wins lately, to secure their own first division status. Vidi went into the match on the back of a run of impressive wins, which has seen them recently overtake Győr, to take second place in the league table. The club arranged a youth tournament on the Sostoi pitch, shortly before kick off, with many kids enjoying their experience on the green turf. The game kicked off in warm summer weather, in what was Vidi's final home match of the current season. Manager Paulo Sousa named his side with Bozovic in goal, a back four of Szolnoki, Hector, Vinicius and Caneira. The midfield also had a settled look to it with Sandor playing alongside Mitrovic, Gyurcso and Walter, with young Kovacs playing in an attacking midfield role, just behind Nemanja Nikolics. Videoton took the game to the opponents, in the aim of trying to get an early goal. The second minute saw a corner, which ended with Kovacs playing in Gyurcso, who went close with a header, but Szucs was equal to it.

The second half began with Walter testing Szucs, with the veteran keeper collecting the cross. Vidi went infront after 52 minutes, when Nikolics turned in the box and went down. The match official pointed at the penalty spot as a result. Nikolics picked himself up to send the spot kick to the left of Szucs to give Vidi a 1-0 lead. The home side then put the visitors under plenty of pressure for the next 15 minutes. Sandor, Gyurcso and Walter looked the most dangerous during this period, with Vidi trying to extend their one goal lead. The visitors backline was breached one more time after 68 minutes. Walter's fine ball in was met by the head of Nikolics to make it 2-0, helping the forward in his target of ending up top league goalscorer for the season, as he competes with Debrecen's Coulibaly.

So Vidi collected the three points to cement their second place in the OTP league table. They now travel to Budapest next Sunday, to face Ujpest in the final league game of the season. Second place is now all but mathematically certain, and the team have been very strong over the spring season.
