The left back put in a good performance in the 4-1 away win against the Puskas Academy.
"It was a very difficult match against Puskas Academy. Sadly we missed chances in the first half, but we remained optimistic at half time. We believed in ourselves and in each other. We knew that we were capable of turning the game around. Fortunately we scored twice inside the opening 15 minutes of the second half. We continued to attack after that. We really did play with great heart and this win will give us great strength. If we can show the same application, I am certain that we can fight our way through to the next round of the Hungarian Cup on Wednesday. I am pleased that I scored a goal and we have been practising set-pieces a lot during training. However, my main job is at the other end making sure that we deny the opponents from attacking us and scoring goals" - commented Stopira.
