Paks 2:0 Ujpest: NB I Match Result

Match report

Paks beat Ujpest 2:0 in the NB I regular season on Friday evening. The match in Hungary concluded with the home side taking all three points after a solid defensive display and clinical finishing. The result moves Paks further from trouble while Ujpest drop points against a side they would have fancied their chances against.

József Windecker opened the scoring in the twenty-first minute after receiving a yellow card just fourteen minutes earlier. József Szalai doubled the lead in the thirty-sixth minute. Ujpest were reduced to ten men when Márió Zeke received a red card in the eighty-seventh minute. By then the match was effectively over.

Ujpest dominated possession at 58 per cent but could not convert their advantage. They registered 98 attacks to Paks's 93 but created zero big chances compared to three for the hosts. The visitors fired 17 shots with only 23 per cent accuracy. Paks shot with 44 per cent accuracy from 14 attempts. The numbers tell you everything about a match where chances went begging.

Paks sit seventh with eight points from six games. Ujpest remain third on ten points. The gap between them has widened after this result. Paks had lost their last league meeting to Puskas Akademia 2:3 before this victory.

And here's the thing about matches like this. Ujpest controlled the ball but could not control the outcome. Three or four moments decided the game, the rest was just noise. Paks kept their heads and ended a barren spell against a top-six side.
