Tiszakecske moved to fifth place in the NB II after beating Nagykanizsa ULE 2:1 in the sixth round of the regular season on Saturday. The visitors took control of the match and held on despite a late surge from the hosts. The result extends Tiszakecske's unbeaten run to five games.
Nagykanizsa ULE took the lead in the 37th minute, but Tiszakecske responded quickly. The away side equalised in the 42nd minute and then struck again in the 88th minute to complete the turnaround. The home side had already collected three yellow cards by half-time, and here's the thing — they added two more after the break while the visitors showed restraint.
The statistics tell a story of possession without penetration. Tiszakecske held 59 per cent of the ball and registered five shots on target to Nagykanizsa ULE's three. The home side had more attacks overall — 92 to 93 — but couldn't convert their opportunities. Shots off target were eight for the visitors against two for the hosts.
Nagykanizsa ULE remain bottom of the table with just three points from five matches. They have won one, lost four, and scored only four goals while conceding eight. The last three league games have all ended in defeat for the home side, and the discipline issues — five yellow cards in this match alone — suggest a side under pressure.
Tiszakecske's position looks more comfortable. Two wins and three draws from five matches means they sit on nine points with no defeats. They have scored 11 goals and conceded just five, and the away win at Nagykanizsa ULE extends their run of unbeaten fixtures.
