First league match:
Videoton FC played first division football for the first time in 1968. They travelled to Budapest to play the green and whites in the 8th weekend of that season. Ferencvaros won that match 1-0 and went on to win the league title.
First Vidi win:
Vidi had to wait until the 6th match between the two to record their first win. That came in season 1971/72 in the 28th week of the campaign. Videoton won 4-3 at the Sostoi stadium with the goals coming from Tamas Szalmasy 2, Laszlo Karsai and Imre Burka.
Longest unbeaten record:
That was a run of 9 league matches, which saw Vidi unbeaten against FTC. The run began on the 21st August 2004 with a 1-0 win over them in Szekesfehervar. The green and whites had to wait 8 years before winning 2-1 on the 7th October 2012 in Fehervar.
Longest run without a win:
19 years! That is the amount of time it took between two Vidi wins. That started on the 27th November 1993 with a 3-1 win thanks to a hatrick from Ferenc Horvath. It ended on the 29th April 2012 with a win in Szekesfehervar.
Biggest ever win:
One of the best moments for a Vidi supporter came at the home of Ferencvaros in a true FIESTA! A 5-0 away win is still the biggest ever win over the Budapest club.
Most memorable match:
Today's generation would surely choose the FTC-Vidi 0-5 game. However, if we look at the entire history of games between the two sides, then season 1975=76 ranks among the best. FTC led the league table by a single point over second placed Videoton. The game practically decided the outcome of the league title. Vidi led 1-0 with a goal from Szalmasy, but then Gyorgy Muncz wrote his name in to the history books as the match official. People still remember back to that painful match after he ruled out a goal from Jozsef Kovacs. He also awarded the home side a dubious penalty. The final result was 1-1.
Best individual performance:
Ferenc Horvath wins this award for his hatrick against FTC 21 years ago. The match on the 27th November 1993 saw the visitors lead through a Wukovics goal. Then Horvath took over with a headed equalizer, and then turned the match around in the 47th minute with a second goal. He crowned his performance in the 73rd minute as he found the back of the net from a Zimmermann cross to complete the score.
