Ujpest secured a 4-2 victory against Debrecen on the second matchday of the NBI Regular Season. The home side came from behind after Akoš Szendrei opened the scoring early on, before Kristóf Horváth stepped in to steady matters. By then the visitors had established their pattern of play, though it would not be enough to take all three points.
Szendrei's opener at eleven minutes caught the hosts on the turn, but Étienne Amenyido responded at twenty-four minutes to level the scoreline. Horváth took his chance twice in the second half, first just before the break and then in the sixty-first minute to put Ujpest in control. Bence Dzsudzsak added a late fourth to settle any remaining nerves, though Adam Matko pulled one back for Debrecen in stoppage time.
The turning point came around the twentieth minute when Ujpest began to assert themselves in midfield. They switched their approach, pushing forward with more purpose while Debrecen's structure looked increasingly fragile. By then the momentum had shifted, and the visitors would struggle to contain the hosts' renewed intensity.
Nine substitutions were made across the course of the ninety minutes, with both managers searching for answers. Debrecen brought on Rotem Keller at the interval and saw Szendrei withdrawn in the sixty-ninth minute. Ujpest introduced Krajcsovics and Vlijter in quick succession, then brought on Amenyido himself after his double. The disciplinary record showed five yellow cards for the visitors compared to one for the hosts.
Debrecen enjoyed 57 per cent possession but failed to convert that dominance into clear-cut opportunities. To be fair, they created three big chances against Ujpest's two, yet their shot accuracy of thirty-three per cent tells the fuller story. The hosts registered eight shots on target with forty-four per cent accuracy, proving more clinical when it mattered.
The result leaves Ujpest on eleven points from seven games, sitting fourth in the table. Debrecen remain in eighth place with nine points, their recent form showing a mix of results that this defeat will not have improved. Two points now separate the two sides in the standings.
