Shopron secured a comfortable 6-3 victory over Seged in the Round of 64 of the Hungarian Cup on Thursday afternoon. The home side controlled proceedings from the outset, building an early lead that Seged could never quite erase despite their own efforts. The result extends Shopron's strong run following their 8-2 triumph over Magyaregisandrási in August.
M. Kulcsar opened the scoring in the 16th minute, giving Shopron the momentum they would maintain throughout. Seged responded with a goal of their own in the 27th minute, but K. Vegh restored the home side's advantage before the interval with a third-minute strike. The pattern repeated itself after the break as Shopron pushed further ahead.
D. Toth found the net in the 55th minute, and O. Cserkuti-Nemeth added another in the 64th minute to put the tie beyond doubt. B. Reseterits completed the scoring in the 77th minute, while a late goal in the 90th minute-plus-two served as a final punctuation to a dominant display. Seged managed one more goal in the 58th minute, but it was too little, too late.
The statistics tell the full story of Shopron's superiority. They enjoyed 60 per cent possession and registered 14 shots on target compared to Seged's three. The home side also generated 81 attacks to the visitors' 89, though their efficiency was far higher. Seged managed only three shots on target all match and could find no answer to the relentless pressure.
For Shopron, this result means progression to the next round and continues a positive trajectory. They have been on a good run recently, and this performance suggests they can raise the tempo when they need to. Seged will have to reflect on missed opportunities and a defensive frailty that cost them dearly.
