Videoton produced a fantastic second half performance to smash six goals past Siofok.
Videoton FC made it 14 goals scored and none conceded after the first three spring league matches. On a cold Friday evening at the Sostoi, with the pitch having been cleared of the snow earlier on, José Gomes' side took on bottom of the league Siofok, who included former Vidi player Janos Mate. Videoton banged in half a dozen goals, following their 4-0 away wins at Honved and Eger respectively. The win means that Vidi are now second in the league table behind leaders Győri ETO, but the red and blues have played one more game than the top sides around them.
Karoly Horvath's Siofok side look doomed to playing second division football next season, lying at the foot of the NBI. They did well to hold out until the hour mark before the flood gates opened up. Mladen Bozsovics returned in goal for Vidi having represented his country last week. There were starts for defender Roland Juhasz and midfielder Istvan Kovacs, who made his debut for Hungary in their 2-2 qualifying draw with Romania last Friday, in an otherwise unchanged and strong Vidi line up. The game began fairly balanced with small fouls around the pitch. The 8th minute saw striker Nikolics lay the ball nicely in to the path of Alvarez who shot over. Siofok defender Timar went into the book on 12 minutes after fouling Kovacs. Alvarez then curled a lovely ball towards the far post, but it was just too strong for Gomes.
Vidi broke away on a counter attack after 17 minutes, which eventually saw Paraiba attempting to lift the ball over keeper Kurucz. Vidi did not really create any clear cut chances in the early stages, with Alvarez having a corner saved well by Kurucz. Kovacs also had a shot saved after 28 minutes with Vidi continuing to come forward at every attempt. Siofok were starting to pick up yellow cards as the first half progressed with Mate and Windecker entering referee Vad's book. The end of the first half saw both sides go in 0-0 at the break. It was just a question of how long the Siofok defence could hold out for.
