Videoton FC played out their final friendly match of their week stay in Belek, Turkey. They were up against Chinese side Hangcsou Greentown on Saturday afternoon. Manager José Gomes decided to give those players who had limited action in Wednesday's friendly game with Grozny, a chance to show what they could do. Videoton lined up with their recent two signings, Vitor Gomes and Alvarez in the starting eleven.

The Chinese first division side, which finished in 13th place last season, began the game rather aggresively. They also had the games first real chance, which required the intervention of keeper Tujvel in the Vidi goal. The counter attack from Videoton, resulted in Torghelle shooting at goal, after a cross from Paraiba. Vidi forward Torghelle could only watch as the Greentown keeper produced a very good save. Paraiba was seeing a lot of the ball in the early exchanges. Claude Angan did have another chance for the Chinese outfit, as he shot across the face of the goal.

The two goals seemed to relax Videoton, and very soon it was 3-0! Paraiba hit the ball in off the crossbar following a rebound. Greentown then tried hard to find a consolation goal in the following ten minutes. However, they were up against a Videoton side playing intelligent football. The teams went in at the break with the Fehervar side leading 3-0. The goals continued to come thick and fast in the second period. There were several small chances before the scoreline became 4-0 after 59 minutes. Paraiba remained calm and composed to score from close range. He was the man in the thick of the action as he also rolled a Torghelle pass into the back of the net.

Defender Szekeres powered home a great header, which gave the Greentown keeper no chance. Uros Nikolics then took a corner, which found Torghelle, who showed a good touch, before beating a defender, and outpacing another to find the back of the net. Vidi also created several other chances on top of the eight they scored. Often it was the performance of the Chinese keeper which kept the scores down. The first team squad will depart Turkey on Sunday to return home to Hungary.
