Cruel end for Vasas as Debrecen pounce
There is no crueller way to lose a football match. Debrecen scored in the 92th minute, the restart barely happened, and the away end was still standing when the whistle went.

3 goals in one game. The first was taken well, the second was taken greedily, and by the third the crowd were simply waiting for him to get the ball.

Balazs Fiola has improved at 24, which nobody expected

Debrecen rebuffed over Patrick Ouotro
Not now, not at any price the club was prepared to say out loud. Tondela have kept their man, and Debrecen go back to a list with one name crossed off it.
In brief
