This weekend of OTP league football will go down as a good one for Videoton FC.
Fourth placed Honved, went in to their Friday night match with Kecskemet, looking to draw level on points with Videoton. However, very few people would have placed a bet on KTE emerging 4-1 winners at the Bozsik stadium in Budapest! The hero of the weekend was striker Laszlo Lencse, who scored a hatrick. The young striker, is contracted to Videoton, but is on a one year loan deal with KTE. He also did his parent club a real favour with his three goals. He took his own personal tally for the season to nine.

Diosgyőr made it two wins from the last two with a single goal victory over struggling Ujpest. Tibor Tisza scored the only goal in the second half, which means that Ujpest now lie just two points off a relegation place in 12th. It continues a bad start to the season, and the violets will be hoping to stop the rot in their next game, but that will be a difficult home match with Debrecen. There were two important games on Sunday with Győri ETO thumping mid table Paks 4-1. It was the second consecutive 4-1 home win for Attlia Pinter's Győr, following up from their recent success over Siofok. The win also kept them within touching distance of table toppers Debrecen. The final match saw Ferencvaros travel west to Szombathely to face Haladas. The visitors were leading 1-0 in the final 5 minutes but somehome managed to lose the game 2-1 with the winner coming in injury time.
