Videoton FC produced a professional performance in their first key match of 2012. Paulo Sousa's side travelled to Miskolc in the league cup, quarter final, first leg tie, emerging comfortable 2-0 winners. A goal from Torghelle and Nikolics in each half proved enough. Sousa chose an experienced line up with Tujvel keeping goal for the Fehervar side. The defence had a settled look to it, with Brachi in his regular right back slot, with the central defensive partnership of Caneira and Vinicius. Young Szolnoki played in the left back position. Oliveira began the match on the right of midfield with Mitrovics, Sandor and Toth occupying the central positions. Gosztonyi also started the game on the left wing, with new signing Torghelle up front. 

Vidi played tactically in the second half. The home side saw more of the ball, but Videoton were always dangerous on the counter attack. There was a moment of bad luck for midfielder Attila Polonkai, who came on as a substitute on the hour mark. He had barely replaced Mitrovics before suffering a shoulder injury a minute later. He had to be strechered off and Jeff Silva came on for his first taste of football in Hungary. Polonkai was taken to hospital and more will be known tomorrow about his condition. There were very few chances in the remainder of the match, with the introduction of Nemanja Nikolics making Vidi more dangerous on the attack. A good through ball from Balazs Toth, with 10 minutes remaining, gave Nikolics a one on one, which the striker failed to convert. His shot was parried away by the Diosgyőr keeper Rados.
