Vidi secured a very good first leg result out here in Turkey against Trabzonspor. The 0-0 draw very much gives hope for next week's return leg at the Sostoi stadium, with Videoton just 90 minutes away from possible group stage football.
Videoton went into their most important match for several years in Turkey on Thursday evening. Paulo Sousa chose virtually his strongest side, as Vidi began the game in an all white strip. With a fanatical home support providing a great atmosphere, the reward on offer for the eventual winners of this two-legged affair is a place in the group stages of this season's Europa League. The game kicked off 5 minutes earlier than the advertised 20:00pm kick off, with plenty of niggling fouls from both sides. Scottish referee Norris had his hands full, constantly blowing his whistle in the opening exchanges. Striker Sandor Torghelle suffered an injury scare early on, but continued to play following treatment on the touchline.
