Mezőkövesd-József defeated Gyirmot 4:2 in the Hungarian second tier's regular season sixth round on 29 August 2026. The home side seized control after a cagey first half and never looked back, despite Gyirmot's penalty goal to level matters briefly. The result shifts momentum in a league where every point carries weight.

Gyirmot looked dangerous on the counter, but Mezőkövesd-József kept knocking on the door. The home side scored twice in the final 14 minutes, goals in the 86th and 90th minutes sealing the victory.
