DVTK and Ujpest met in the NB I Liga on Thursday evening, and the hosts came away with a 2:5 victory. Three days earlier the visitors had pulled off a 3:0 win away from home, so this time round the script flipped. By then the bookmakers were pricing a low-scoring game, but the scoreline told a different story entirely.
The home side sat third on the table with fifteen points from six matches — five wins, one defeat. Ujpest arrived fifth on twelve points after seven games, four wins and three losses. The contrast in form was stark, and DVTK made sure the away end never stopped their work.
We had given a prediction before kick-off: a away victory with forty-three percent confidence. The forecast came true, though perhaps not in the way we expected. Ujpest finished on the right side of the result, but the margin suggested they had been caught on the counter-attack rather than controlling proceedings.
DVTK's recent run reads like a straight line — 4:3 against DEAK, 3:0 over Ujpest, 3:1 versus Fenestella, 3:4 against Csiksereda, and 2:1 over Győr. To be fair, the away side have not been immune to heavy scores themselves: a 9:3 win, a 7:2 victory, and two defeats of 0:3 and 2:5. The pattern of open games was visible from the start.
No possession statistics or shots on target were supplied, so the narrative rests on what the scoreboard showed. A five-goal margin after a previous clean-sheet win tells you the defence switched off at the back, especially in the second half. The hosts turned it around after the break and closed the game out.
The result extends DVTK's unbeaten run to eight matches across all competitions. Ujpest's position in fifth remains unchanged, but the gap to the leaders stays at three points. The away side now have one more game to play than their rivals, so the table could shift before the weekend.
