Kecskemet come out on top against Videoton in the Hungarian cup final
Videoton started slowly against a Kecskemet side who had plenty of pace up front. Vidi failed to produce the football that they know they are capable of, and in the end, KTE fully deserved their win.

Videoton failed to make it a league and cup double at the Ferenc Puskas stadium on Tuesday evening. It was Kecskemet who began the brighter, going into an early lead thanks to the alert Foxi. That opening goal came as early as the second minute, and it seemed to stun the league champions. Things got worse when Foxi scored his second of the night to make it 2-0 after just fourteen minutes. It was a lead that KTE were never going to surrender, and kept all the way until half time. Manager Gyorgy Mezey made several changes with Sebok keeping goal, and Akos Elek switching to left back, to accomodate the central midfield pairing of Sandor and Farkas. He kept Nikolics up front with Alves, but they failed to break through the stubborn violets defence.
