Kispest-Honvéd opened the scoring in the 27th minute through Adi Alic, but Vasas fought back after the break.

Goalkeeping Heroics and First-Half Dominance by Kispest
The match marked a significant lineup change for Kispest-Honvéd. According to match reports, 42-year-old Tomás Tujvel had started the opening three fixtures in goal, but Osman Hadzikic took over the starting spot following his July transfer. The Austrian-Bosnian goalkeeper made an immediate impact in the 17th minute by denying Márk Kovácsréti from six meters out and immediately stopping a follow-up shot from Márk Koszta.
Despite those early stops, Kispest broke the deadlock in the 27th minute. Szilveszter Hangya delivered a cross from the left flank, allowing Adi Alic to head the ball into the center of the net from four yards out, giving the hosts a 1-0 lead that they carried into halftime.
Second-Half Comeback, VAR Intervention, and Late Drama
The pace slowed considerably after the interval, with referee Antal issuing several yellow cards primarily for dissent rather than rough fouls. The turning point arrived when Dominik Csontos handled the ball inside the penalty area, gifting Vasas a penalty kick in the 78th minute. According to the official match log, Milan Tóth took the penalty, and although Hadzikic saved the initial low shot to the bottom left, Tóth reacted quickest to knock the rebound home and equalize.
Vasas nearly claimed the lead shortly after, but Rajmund Horváth’s goal was ruled out for offside following a three-minute VAR review. As the match stretched into an eight-minute stoppage time, Vasas found the breakthrough. In the 97th minute, Dániel Csóka redirected a header into the bottom left corner, sealing the 2-1 victory and condemning Kispest to a devastating late defeat.
