The greens won the match by exploiting Újpest’s errors in defence, Daily News Hungary reports.
First half
Újpest started the derby with great enthusiasm and scored the first goal in the 4th minute after a corner. It took several minutes after the goal for Fradi to get back into the game, however, the away side was not able to break Újpest’s defence. They mostly kept the ball in their own half, the defenders passed it to each other, although sometimes they tried to reach Böde with long balls, without success. In contrary, Újppest tried to counterattack quickly, but the last passes never were good enough.
In the 23rd minute, however, Jenner shot a freekick to goal from about 40 meters. Dmitrovic was able to save it to corner, but the following set-piece resulted in an equalizing goal. The ball touched two heads until it reached Gyömbér, who finally headed it towards goal. Dmitrovic saved again, but the ball popped Gyömbér again, who finished it finally.
