Red Card and Second-Half Defensive Battle in the Rain

The first-half proceedings tilted further in favor of the hosts when Szentlőrinc was reduced to ten men. In the 33rd minute, Kun Bertalan received a second yellow card, resulting in a dismissal that left Nikházi Márk’s side a man down for the remainder of the contest, as reported by Nemzeti Sport and fmc.hu.
