ESMTK secured a comfortable 3:0 victory over Algö in the Round of 128 of the Hungarian Cup on Friday, 22 August 2026. The match took place at 14:30 local time and ended with the visitors well clear. Algö's recent form offered little comfort, while ESMTK arrived with momentum from better results.
Algö's last five outings tell a difficult story. They lost 1:6 to Sarvas in August 2024, followed by another defeat 0:1 to Testvereseg. A 0:1 loss to Pilisi LK in August 2023 added to the pain, with only a 2:1 win against Fürezgarmati in the same month providing relief. Their most recent fixture before this cup tie was an 1:4 defeat to Gyömrő in August 2021.
ESMTK's record reads more favourably. They lost 0:2 to Honved in February 2026 but bounced back with a 3:0 victory over Komarom in January. A 0:0 draw with Kozarmisleny in October 2025 was followed by two comfortable wins: 3:0 against Szolnok in September and a heavy 7:0 triumph over Rakckeve in August 2025.
and here's the thing — the scoreline reflected the gulf between two sides in very different places. Algö had not tasted victory in their last competitive match before this cup exit, while ESMTK had won three of their five most recent games. The visitors' attacking record, particularly that 7:0 win, suggested they could be dangerous.
To be fair, cup football has its own rules, and upsets happen regularly. But this was not one of those occasions. ESMTK were the stronger side on paper and on recent form, and the result confirmed that assessment. Algö's defensive frailties, evident in that 1:6 loss, likely contributed to their early departure.
by then, ESMTK will be looking ahead to the next round, where they face a more substantial challenge. Algö's campaign is over, and the club will need to address their form issues before the next opportunity arises. The Cup remains open for the visitors, who showed they still have work to do.
