From our football correspondent Upbeat

Match

Haladas refuse to drop out of the race

Position 3, 27 points, and the result everyone checks first is now theirs. The word is still not being said around the ground, which is how you know everyone is thinking it.

Squad

Mate Varga keeps the receipts

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

Squad

Andras Sallai 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 Haladas this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Match

Nobody wins at Haladas

8 home matches unbeaten. Visiting sides arrive already talking about the atmosphere, which is usually the sign that they have half-lost before kickoff.

Squad

Andras Szalai 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.

Player ratings

Nobody could get near Dominik Fiola

Successful dribbles: 17. Every time he got the ball somebody had to make a decision, and every time the decision was wrong.

Loan watch

Adam Botka has seen enough of Debrecen

“I am grateful for the games, but I did not become a footballer to be somebody else's spare part.” He wants to be at Haladas, and 0 appearances in 14 say he has earned the hearing.

Squad

Barnabás Nagy gets it from the manager

“Nobody here is above being told.” It was not said with a name attached, but the dressing room can count, and so can everybody who was listening.

Player ratings

A defender's afternoon for Fabián Mosquera

Defensive actions: 13. He was first to everything and second to nothing, and the goalkeeper had an easy day because of it.

In brief
