Honvéd continued to commit unforced errors in their defensive third, allowing Zsombor Berecz to extend Gyirmót’s lead in the 78th minute with a free-kick from 21 meters. The closing moments yielded multiple yellow cards rather than offensive chances, confirming the lower-league side’s advancement.

Gyirmót head coach Ádám Weitner pointed to team cohesion and physical conditioning as decisive factors. Our victory was a triumph of team unity, good tactics, and fitness, Weitner said according to nemzetisport.hu, adding that he had to instruct his players to attack with more courage at halftime.

On the opposing side, Honvéd manager Maurizio Jakobacci highlighted preventable mistakes.

We must wake up and deliver a better performance.
