Player ratings

Matheus Aiás scores twice — 9.04

Two goals and a mark of 9.04 to go with them. Strikers are judged on afternoons like this one and remembered for far fewer of them than people imagine.

Squad

6 saves: Osman Hadžikić was the team

Some afternoons a goalkeeper is the whole of the defence. 6 saves, several of them the kind nobody expects to see made, and ten outfield players who owe him a drink.

The dugout

Zarija Lambulić says Honved went back on their word

“I was told what my role would be, and I signed on that basis. It has not happened.” A grievance with a date attached is the hardest kind to settle.

Market

Isak Hammadou puts it in writing

“This is not anger. I have thought about it for months, and nothing that has happened lately changed my mind.” The request is on a desk at Honved, and it is not being withdrawn.

Match

No end in sight to Honved's wait for a win

4 matches now without a victory, and the excuses have worn thinner than the patience. Somebody at Honved has to find a result from somewhere.

Squad

Tempers go at Honved

Lamine Cissé was at the centre of it, and by the time it was pulled apart there were three or four others involved. Training grounds are small places and long seasons make them smaller.

Match

Nobody could stop scoring

6 goals. Both benches spent the second half looking at each other rather than at the pitch. Purists will complain about Honved and Ujpest in equal measure; everybody else had a wonderful time.

Boardroom

Graduation day at Honved

5 boys move up, and somewhere in the building the people who coached them at twelve are quietly having the best morning of their working year. Nothing about this shows up in a result and it is why the academy exists.

Market

Honved promote Marton Fiola from within

The academy exists for exactly this morning. Marton Fiola has come through every age group the club runs and has now been handed a senior number, and the people who coached him at twelve will be the proudest in the building.

The dugout

Zarija Lambulić keeps the receipts

“I remember the meeting. I remember exactly what was promised in it.” Honved may remember it differently, which is precisely the problem.

Squad

Lamine Cissé in a row with a teammate

It was not about football and everybody who saw it knows that. Two men who have to play together on Saturday said things at Honved this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Squad

Matheus Aiás falls out with a teammate over standards

The oldest argument in any dressing room and the only one that is genuinely about football: one man thinks another is not putting enough in. It is also the row a manager privately does not mind having happened.

The dugout

A door opens for Miloje Preković

He asked about his future and was given an answer with minutes in it. The manager has now made a promise in a building where promises are remembered, and the clock on it has started.

Match

Continental football is in reach for Honved

30 points from position 6. The title is somebody else’s business and the drop is somebody else’s problem; what is left is the argument about passports.

The dugout

The manager comes out for Osman Hadžikić

Public backing, and the sort that costs a manager something if it turns out to be wrong. Osman Hadžikić has been told in front of everybody that the shirt is his.

Squad

Sebestyén Ihrig-Farkas damages knee ligaments — 48 days out

The words a physio says slowly. 48 days is what the club will announce and everybody who has heard this diagnosis before knows the number is the least of it: the knee comes back before the player does.

The dugout

Matheus Aiás has become a man the manager trusts

Nobody at Honved will say this on the record and the team sheets have been saying it for weeks. There is a small group in every squad who get picked when the fixture is difficult, and he has joined it.
