Újpest secured a 3:1 victory against Győri in the opening round of the Erster Liga on Thursday, 18 September 2026. The match concluded at 16:00 local time with the home side taking all three points from their first fixture of the campaign.
The result places Újpest top of the table at 1st position with one game played, one win recorded, and zero points accumulated. Győri occupy 10th place after their solitary outing, having suffered a defeat with no points on the board. Both sides enter the second round with identical records of a single match under their belts.
Újpest's opening day triumph builds on a pattern of results against MAC Ujvida earlier in the season. Their recent encounters showed mixed fortunes, including a heavy 2:6 loss and several higher-scoring affairs. The new campaign begins with momentum for the hosts.
Győri arrive with a string of victories in their previous five matches. They defeated Brasov 3:2, Fenestela 5:0, Steaua Bucharest 5:2, Csikszereda 5:3, and Sapientia U23 5:2 in those fixtures. This loss marks a significant shift in their trajectory.
The opening round standings offer little distinction between the ten clubs, as each has played one game and the point totals remain at zero across the board. Újpest's win gives them the earliest advantage in what promises to be a competitive season.
