Videoton FC pulled off the best result over possibly the last 25 years, as they confidently beat Gent 4-0 on aggregate. Paulo Sousa's side won the first leg a week ago, by a single goal, thanks to Nemanja Nikolics, and the same player scored another two goals in the return leg on Thursday evening. All the talk leading up to the match was about Gent attacking Videoton on their home pitch, with many regarding the Belgium side as clear favourites. A healthy number of loyal Videoton supporters made the long journey out to give tremendous backing to their side, and the team responded with a great performance, which most Videoton supporters will never forget. The win also means that Videoton will find out who their opponents are in the play-off's for the Europa League, when the draw is made on Friday in Nyon.

The maths was simple with Videoton defending a 1-0 lead, knowing that an away goal would mean that Gent would have to score three times, to have any chance of going through. The Polish match official blew for kick off with Vidi attacking the end housing the travelling Hungarian supporters. It was the home side that made plenty of the running in the opening minutes, putting lots of pressure and dangerous crosses in to the Vidi box. It looked like being a long night for the defence at that point, with Bozsovics often coming to the rescue of his side.

Conte could have put Gent ahead in the opening minute, but Bozsovics was alert enough to deal with the danger. The Belgium side then went on to have a further two good chances inside the first 10 minutes. N'Diaye twice missed in front of goal when it was easier to have scored! The game then turned on 13 minutes, when Videoton's keeper rolled the ball out to Mitrovics. The midfielder then sent a great 40 meters through ball into the path of Oliveria, who caught the home defence sleeping, and the Portuguese player made no mistake as he calmly slotted the ball past the keeper. The goal sent the Vidi fans into raptures, and it also gave Videoton, who were playing in an all red strip, a healthy two goal advantage. Gent continued to apply pressure in search of goals, which they now needed 3 of. However, N'Diaye continued to have a bad day in front of goal, as he continued to miss the chances that came his way.

The second half began with Conte finding himself with a chance for Gent, but he could find no way past a confident Bozsovics, who saved well from a tight angle. The home side then missed another chance to draw level on the night in the 57th minute. Caneira this time proved the hero, bravely blocking a good chance in front of goal. Bruls then lost his head in the 64th minute, making things even harder for the home side. He kicked out at Balazs Toth on the far touchline, giving the Polish referee no alternative but to produce a red card. Vidi took quick advantage of events. Another long throw by Bozsovics after 66 minutes, found its way to Nikolics, who ran towards goal before keeping his composure to make it 2-0 on the night and 3-0 on aggregate. Things became even better four minutes later, with Nikolics adding another to put the match beyond the reach of Gent. Kovacs did well to create the chance, which fell nicely to Niko, who kept calm when he needed to and he made it 3-0! Gent were reduced to nine men after 85 minutes, with Messoudi given his marching orders.

In the end the referee blew for full time and Videoton picked up a great result away from home. Very few would have predicted an overall 4-0 aggregate win over a good Belgium team. There will be plenty of interest now in the draw for the play off's in Nyon on Friday. Well done Videoton - you produced a great performance when you needed to most.
