Nagykanizsa ULE hosted Soroslo in the Hungarian Second League's fourth round of the regular season on Saturday. The visitors claimed a narrow 1-0 victory despite being away from home. The result maintained Soroslo's unbeaten record throughout the campaign.
K. Kobol ended a barren spell with a strike in the 35th minute. He then added a second in the 36th minute to put the guests ahead. The hosts had no answer to the sudden double blow.
B. Kovacs picked up a yellow card in the 35th minute. R. Zsolnai and Y. Gelesh had already collected bookings before the first goal. By then the match had tightened things up considerably.
Substitutions began immediately after the break with V. Jovan and D. Mikler entering for Soroslo. Nagykanizsa responded at the hour mark bringing on A. Bagi for B. Lovrencsics. The coach saw an opportunity to change the dynamic. Soroslo made two changes at sixty-nine minutes with M. Horvath and B. Kapornai coming on.
The statistics told a different story to the final score. Hosts registered ten shots off target yet failed to hit the frame, while Soroslo took two on target and scored once. Attacks numbered eighty-five against ninety-four, but efficiency separated the sides.
Soroslo sit top of the table with nineteen points from seven games. Nagykanizsa occupy twelfth place with only six points and five defeats. The gap between the sides widened further after this result.
