This week in history (3 November — 9 November)
100 years ago:
Goal-filled KAC victory on Sárkány Street
On 8 November 1925, Kispesti AC hosted Vasklub in a friendly at the Sárkány Street ground, where the red-and-blacks claimed an emphatic 7-1 victory.
KAC were superior from the start, and that superiority was reflected in the goals. Kispest already led 3-0 at half-time. Although Vasklub pulled one back through Weinstein in the second half, it was only a brief revival, and further KAC goals secured a convincing victory.
The home team's goals were shared by Szabó (3), Mátéffy (2) and Zuber (2). Szabó and Saguly were particularly outstanding for KAC.
50 years ago:
On 9 November 1975, Bp. Honvéd beat SZEOL AK 2-0 at home in an NB I match with goals from István Weimper and Sándor Pintér. In a match that was not of especially high quality, Honvéd were on top throughout.
Honvéd lined up as follows: Gujdár – Egervári, Páncsics, Varga – Pál, Lukács, Szűcs – Morgós, Pintér, Weimper, Fehérvári (Bartos, 55th minute).
The team's coach: Dr Károly Lakat.
