Our head coach named Dala - Melnyik, Serafimov, Spandler, Milicevic - Pető, Csongvai, Bedi, Holender - Gradisar, Katona in the starting eleven.
The first chance of the match came in the 5th minute, when Brandon's dangerous cross was headed away for a corner by Milicevic. Our Croatian-Bosnian defender also did well in building the attack, Pető burst in on his left-wing cross, Pécsi saved the chance with a good save. Holender then got hold of the ball and tried to cut in but he was injured and, which did not stop Puskás from taking the lead: in the 12th minute Soisalo ran down the right wing, his accurate cross was poked into the goal by Colley (1-0). In the 18th minute the home team had a misunderstanding when their goalkeeper and defender clashed, Katona pounced on the ball, but failed to score.
In the other half of the pitch, the home side replicated the previous situation, luckily Milicevic blocked the shot on the goal line. The first half hour was dominated by the home team, then our team changed the rhythm: first Melnyik raced into the penalty area, his shot bounced off a defender and away for the corner, then in the 31st minute Holender broke forward on the left, his accurate cross was headed at goal by Bedi from five meters, right into the hands of Pécsi. The rest of the time our team attacked more, but our actions lacked penetration.
At the break, Tamás Pető made a double substitution, with Stefanelli and Mátyás Kovács replacing Bedi and Holender. We started the second half with energy; Melnyik's cross was headed into Pécsi's glove from four metres by Gradisar, followed by another good cross, this time from the other side, which was headed over by Spandler. A lot of fouls broke up the game, which did not help the good rhythm of the game. In the 61st minute Gradisar flicked over from 16 yards and the hosts then scored a second goal from the counter-attack, Soisalo's cross was headed home by Nissila from close range (2-0).
In the 70th minute Melnyik broke forward and Pécsi punched it away for a corner. In the 75th minute, Zsolt Kalmár, who has recovered from injury, came on again for the first time since November 2023. In the 78th minute, Felcsút decided the match: Levi curled a 19-metre shot into the top right corner (3-0). The home side continued to grind, and towards the end, Dala made a smart save from Puljic, so the result remained the same. The home team, who made better use of their chances, won the match.
