Head coach Tamás Pető sent out the eleven of Tóth - Huszti, Serafimov, Csongvai, Schön - Melnyik, Bedi - Katona, Christensen, Stefanelli - P. Kovács. On the substitutes' bench were Dala, Veszelinov, Simut, Larsen, Ominger, Babos, Pető, Kovács M., Kovács B. and Gradisar.
We started well in the return leg, winning three corner kicks in quick succession, but they did not threaten the away goal. In the 9th minute, Katona tried his luck from 14 metres out on the left, Dzhenetov parried the ball away from the corner. In the 15th minute Bedi's shot went just over the bar, we were clearly in control. In the second part of the first half, the away team ventured forward and the game became more even. Patrik Kovács fought for the ball in his own half, set up Katona, who was pushed down by the defenders at the end of a promising counter-attack. The team built up nicely several times up to the opposing box, but the final passes were always not accurate. At half-time, head coach Tamás Pető made two substitutions: Stefanelli and Patrik Kovács were replaced by Milán Pető and Gradisar. In the 49th minute, Abdullazade headed a headed ball at the goal, Balázs Tóth saved really well. The match livened up at the other end, Christensen's 22-metre free-kick hit the crossbar. In the 58th minute Mátyás Katona was replaced by Mátyás Kovács. Another Vidi situation ensued, a bouncing ball inside the box saw Gradisar and Muradov collide, fortunately both were able to continue the game. Sumqayit became more and more courageous, they had the ball more, but did not threaten Balázs Tóth's goal. In the 68th minute Larsen came on for Huszti. The minutes passed without any chances, the teams were battling each other in the middle of the field. The Azeris tried, our defence screened their attacks well, but we had no difficulty. In the 82nd minute Christensen came off, replaced by Ominger, who after a change of direction twisted his knee and left the pitch on a stretcher with a painful expression on his face. As we had used all our substitutions earlier, we finished the match with ten men. With good defending, we managed to survive the six minutes of extra time and with a 2-1 aggregate score, we advanced to the 3rd round of the Conference League.
On Saturday at 16:00 we will play DVTK at the Sóstói Stadium.
