Videoton FC showed the required character to secure a last minute winner, which they deserved based on the way they played and attacked. It may have been cruel luck on the visitors, who came to defend with their Christmas tree formation. Vidi saw both teams above them win their games, and the three points gained on Sunday evening now means the red and blues have opened up an eight point gap on fourth placed Honved. Paulo Sousa chose a fairly settled side, knowing that his team would need to show plenty of patience to break down a Honved side, which surprisingly lost 4-1 at home to Kecskemet last weekend, and who needed to put in a performance for their manager and supporters. He kept the same back four, with plenty of options in midfield, and with the hard working Sandor Torghelle causing problems for his former side. Most people inside the Sostoi stadium were counting on the match being a difficult one against Honved, which is exactly as it turned out.
