Móri SE hosted Dorogi in the Round of 128 of the Hungarian Cup on August 23rd, and the visitors ran riot with a 0:7 victory. It was a comprehensive performance from Dorogi, who dominated from start to finish. Móri had little to show for their efforts beyond a single match played.
Seven goals is not something you see every day in cup football. The margin tells you everything about how the game unfolded, even without minute-by-minute detail. Dorogi came in with nothing to lose and played accordingly.
Móri's recent form offered little reassurance. They had beaten Bőny 4:2 and Urkút 4:0 earlier in the summer, but lost heavily to Honvéd 4:1 and Papai Perutz 5:2. That 1:4 defeat against Honvéd must have lingered.
By then, Dorogi had shown they could score. A 4:1 win over Menfőkancsó and a 2:1 victory against Gödöllő suggested an attacking side. The two losses — 0:2 to Seged 2011 and 0:1 to Újpest — were narrow, and this match was different.
And here's the thing about cup competitions at this level. The Round of 128 is where the big clubs meet the smaller sides, and Dorogi made sure the gap was clear. Móri's season is over before it really began.
The visitors now move on to the next round, where the pressure will shift. Móri have plenty of time to reflect on a day that will not be forgotten at the stadium. Dorogi have their work cut out for them in the following rounds.
