Encs
Spectators: 36 (Terracing: 28, Seating: 8, VIP seats: 0) Dark clouds were building up when the players entered the field. None of the them looked very eager to play. Lajos Fülöp started the match with the kick off. After some fancy dribbling in the 4th minute, Ákos Szakály managed to get in a good position for a shot. Nagyiván ETO's supporters rose to their feet, but Ákos Szakály was a bit off balance and shot the ball just wide of the left post.

Gáspár Kántor took care of the ball after a well-directed shot from Csaba Paszkál, even though the ball almost passed him on his left side.

After a defensive mix-up in Encs's zone, Csaba Paszkál stole the ball and had only the goalie to beat. Gáspár Kántor came out of the goal and Csaba Paszkál tried to chip the ball over his head. To his dismay, the ball went over the crossbar and out of play. Dávid Fenyves's late challenge caught a Encs's player on the shin and left him crawling around in pain. The referee blew his whistle and produced the yellow card. Dávid Fenyves helped the player get up and apologised. In the 30th minute, Dávid Fenyves hit a crossing free kick to the open man running down the field.

Nagyiván ETO's Ákos Szakály got a good chance for a goal in the 87th minute, but he totally mistimed the shot and it went over the crossbar.
