Second half - Vidi protect their lead to make it through to the next round
The pressure continued in front of the Taksony goal with the first chance arriving after 55 minutes when Milanov crossed to Futacs, but he could not direct his effort at goal as it was blocked. The resulting corner ended with Berecz shooting from 18 meters, but it rebounded off a defender and ended in the back of the net, but it was flagged offside. The game was an hour old when a good move ended with Hodzic on the ball on the edge of the box, but he shot over following pressure from a defender. Toth chased for the ball two minutes later together with Juhasz, and he took the ball towards goal before shooting over from a tight angle.
Hodzic lifted a ball back in after it was headed out, which was controlled by Nikolov, who from 8 meters shot just over the bar. A Nikolov free kick after 68 minutes was headed towards goal by Juhasz, but it was blocked and went out for a corner. The corner kick came in and Stopira connected with it from 6 meters, but without hitting the target. Nikolov then went on a 40 meters run, which beat 3-4 met before finding Nego, but the right back crossed into the middle where Berecz was waiting to hit a shot from 10 meters, which was saved by Ivancsics.
Nikolov could have scored a goal towards the end. There was to be no further goals and MOL Vidi FC secured their place in the next round and the last eight with a 4-0 aggregate win.
