While most leagues and competitions in Europe are suspended, the Hungarian league continued today, but without supporters in the stadiums. Although the atmosphere was not as usual, seeing the supporting comments and pictures on social media, the team prepared for a victory with just as big of a dedication. We ruled from the starting whistle but needed to wait for the first goal until the 31st minute – Boli launched a powerful shot to the short left side - and the first half ended with this result. We dominated in all metrics, Kaposvár had not marked any shots in the first 45 minutes. After half time we doubled our lead soon with Isael’s header. Isael played in a brilliant form once again: after the goal he placed a corner shot precisely to the head of Blazic who headed to the net. The fourth goal was achieved by our substitutes: Sihnevich passed to Varga who then placed it to the net. Finally, in extra time Varga doubled with the humble pass from Tokmac.
We won 5-0 and continue to lead the league.
