The match started badly for Vidi against Puskas in the league. A Gyurcso double and a further strike from Suljic secured the points.
Vidi met the Puskas Academy for the fifth time in the first division on Saturday evening. The red and blues have picked up three wins and a draw, while Vinicius made his 100th appearances in the colours of the Fehervar side.
Gyurcso showed some skill after 5 minutes and sent a ball in from the right, which was met by the arriving Poloskei whose header went very close. Vinicius lost possession a minute later inside his own half. Lencse found the ball at his feet and hit a low shot past Danilovics from 15 meters out, which found the back of the net (1-0). Vidi could have levelled 10 minutes later when Suljic got hold of the ball in the Puskas half, before crossing low for Oliveira to hit wide from close in. The Felcsut club then scored their second to extend the lead with a lovely goal. Bacelic-Grgic rolled the ball back from a corner, which Pekar connected with from 20 meters out to find the top corner (0-2).
Tamas Peto made changes to his side on the half hour mark. Szolnoki came off and Feczesin replaced him. Vidi scored a consolation goal to come back in to the game on 33 minutes. Gyurcso curled a lovely free kick from 25 meters out in to the top left hand corner. (1-2). Videoton dominated the rest of the half but could not find the equalizer as the teams went in at the break.
Videoton began the second half actively and a lovely move on 51 minutes ended with Suljic finding Feczesin, who played the ball back for the Bosnian winger to place the ball beyond keeper Pogacsics. (2-2). The chances continued to come thick and fast in the minutes that followed. Suljic, Patkai, Vinicius could all have added to the scoreline. It was Puskas who could have gone ahead after 67 minutes. Lencse connected well with a ball in from the right, but his shot came crashing back off the post. A counter attack at the other end saw Gyurcso just fail to score as his effort went ever so close. Gyurcso was again the danger man after 74 minutes when he volleyed just over the bar from 13 meters, after Nego had crossed the ball.
Videoton went ahead for the first time in the match 5 minutes later. Substitute Kovacs released Gyurcso who shot inside the near post from a tight angle (3-2). Puskas were then reduced to 10 men when Fiola was shown his second yellow card following a clash with Stopira. There was still time with 92 minutes on the clock for Suljic to play in Gyurcso, who beat two men before shooting over from 11 meters out. That proved to be the final action in the match. It was also an exciting end to end game played at a good tempo. Vidi picked up the three points to move up to 7th in the OTP league table.
Vidi are next in action in two week's time when they entertain Honved at the Sostoi. There will be an international break next weekend.
