Vasas SC 0:1 Puskás Akadémia: NB I Match Result

Match report

Pushkaš Akadémia secured a slender 1-0 victory over Vashas at the NBI Regular Season round five fixture on Saturday, 22 August 2026. The result keeps the visitors perched atop the table while Vashas remain in fifth place, eight points adrift. to be fair, the match was never going to be straightforward for either side.

Vashas lost their discipline early, with B. Rab shown a red card in the 44th minute after accumulating two yellow cards — the first for R. Szolnoki in the 21st, then Rab's own in the 44th. The hosts were reduced to ten men before the interval and never recovered their shape. by then, Pushkaš had already begun to pin them back.

The decisive moment arrived in the 85th minute when A. Nemeth found the net. The goal came late, which suited Pushkaš's approach all game — patient, probing, waiting for the opening. Vashas created only one big chance themselves, while the visitors registered four. and here's the thing, the difference was in how they used their opportunities.

The statistics tell the story of control. Pushkaš Akadémia held 58 per cent possession and completed 463 passes compared to Vashas's 330. The visitors logged 17 key passes and 105 passes into the final third, while Vashas managed just 12 key passes and 53 into the opposition half. Shots on target favoured the hosts — seven to five — but accuracy told a different tale. Pushkaš converted one of their five on target, while Vashas could not find the back of the net with any of their seven.

What this means is straightforward. Pushkaš Akadémia extend their lead at the top to four points, moving to twelve from six games. Vashas stay on eight points, with two more defeats in as many outings this season. The gap is opening, and that is the reality of a league where margins are thin and consistency matters.
