Vidi take a single goal lead into the Saturday's second leg tie

VIDEOTON FC - HALADAS 1-0 (1-0)
Sostoi stadium, Szekesfehervar
Goalscorer: Vasziljevic
Videoton: Bozovic - Brachi, Caniera, Vinícius, Hector - Gosztonyi (Evandro, 45.), Mitrovic, Tóth B. (Alves, 65.), Vasiljevic (Sándor, 73.), Walter - Nikolic

A first half Vasziljevic goal gave Videoton FC a single goal advantage going into Saturday's second leg away in Szombathely. The first leg of the Hungarian cup quarter finals saw a repeat of last season's game, but unlike then, when Vidi won 3-0 at home, followed up by a 3-1 away win, they will go into the second leg weekend tie, knowing that they have a fight on their hand. Paulo Sousa kept a fairly settled side, retaining Bozovic in goal, with Hector playing at left back alongside a settled defence. Nikolics played upfront with Alves rested on the bench as Vidi took the game to the visitors. 

In the end Videoton will take a single goal lead to Szombathely on Saturday, hoping to progress through to the semi-finals of the cup, with a place in Europe on offer. It was a tidy performance today against a well organized Haladas side. Vidi played the ball around well and had some good chances to extend their lead. There will be a full build up and match report for the second leg game on Saturday.
