Győri ETO managed to keep all of the points at the ETO Park on Sunday afternoon. There was plenty of rain leading up to the match, which made the surface slippery. Vidi went into the game sitting in sixth place in the table, after Kecskemet won at home to go ahead of the red and blues. A win would have taken Vidi into third spot ahead of Honved. Paulo Sousa fielded a strong starting eleven, with plenty of men packing midfield, leaving Alves alone up front. The two west Hungary rivals tried to get the upper hand in the opening exchanges. Győr have a 100% home record, which has played a big part in them lying in second place. The stats going into the match showed that the home side have only conceeded three goals at home, and it was easy to see why.
The seventh minute saw Pilibaitis and VIdi's Toth go for a 50-50 ball with the former coming off the worst. Captain Gyorgy Sandor had the first effort on goal, blasting over after 8 minutes. ETO took the lead when Ji-Parana escaped down the left and his neat cross, was volley home in spectacular fashion by Dudas, who timed his run to perfection. It was Győr's first real chance on goal, but the finish from Dudas was clinical. Ji-Parana then had a shot saved a minute later by Tujvel, as Győr threatened to extend their lead. Both teams sat back with plenty of tackles going in all over the pitch to keep the referee busy. Szbo and Dinjar went into the book, with Brachi following them inside the first half. Mitrovics released Elek on the half hour, with the tall midfielder rounded the keeper before shooting across the face of the goal.
