Debrecen attacked more in the remaining 20 minutes, with Varga having two headers at goal, and also finding the post, but they were unable to score a goal. There was still time on the clock for Kovacs to play Feczesin through with a fine ball, and the forward made no mistake as his slipped the ball beyond Verpecz from 10 meters to make it 3-1.
