Videoton take on Debrecen in the super cup final on Wednesday evening
The 11th July will see Videoton take part in a Super Cup final for the fourth time, with only Debrecen and Ferencvaros having played in more finals than Vidi. Both Debrecen and FTC have appeared in six finals each, while Wednesday's match will be Debrecen's seventh in the final.
Videoton won the Super cup last season away at Kecskemet, and go into Wednesday's final as holders | ||
The first Super cup final for Videoton FC was back in 2006, when then champions Debrecen were the opponents. The final back then was over two legs, with Vidi losing 1-0 at home, before going down 2-1 in Debrecen. .
Vidi had to wait another four years until they next appeared in a final. With Debrecen having won the league and cup double in 2010, they faced Vidi, who had finished runners up in the league at home, winning by a single goal. Vidi were back in the final a year later, having won the Hungarian league title with cup winners Kecskemet the opponents. An Andre Alves goal was enough to secure a 1-0 win, resulting in the first Super cup success for Videoton FC.
Vidi will now play in the Super Cup for the third time in a row against Debrecen, who once again managed to win the league and cup double. If Videoton can win on Wednesday, with kick off at 20:15pm, then they will have been the third most successful side, level with MTK and Ujpest, in the competition.
