As known, István Körtvélyesi's side prepared for Saturday's league clash on the back of a four-goal victory after keeping all three points at home against BKV Előre. This time, our players visited Sándorfalva, facing the Csongrád-Csanád County outfit for the very first time. The hosts have caused several upsets this season: defeating Újpest in Round 2 and recently putting an end to Vasas' winning streak.
Our lads ended the round with a goalless draw. After the final whistle, our head coach emphasized that the team did not have an easy task against a compact, organized defense, and overall it was a fair result.

István Körtvélyesi, head coach:
"The match conditions fell short of my expectations in every aspect. However, I am pleased that we maintained our style of play and stuck to what we had planned and practiced. It is very difficult to play against a deep, set defense, especially when the opponent is solely waiting for our mistakes. Fortunately, we managed to handle the situation. Unfortunately, the final passes and touches lacked precision, which caused several opportunities to go to waste. Overall, considering the run of play, a draw is a fair and acceptable result for everyone."
