DVTK Secures Victory Over Kisvárda with Young Talent Leading the Charge

Diósgyőri VTK secured a 2-1 victory over Kisvárda FC on April 25, 2026, in the 31st round of the Hungarian Nemzeti Bajnokság I, marking their first league win since February 14 and ending a winless streak that had lasted 714 days.

The match, played at Kisvárda’s home ground, began with the hosts taking an early lead. In the 22nd minute, Matanović received a pass on the right flank, drove into the box, and scored after a deflection off Bárdos Bence to make it 1-0 for Kisvárda.

Diósgyőr responded before halftime. After a handball in the box was reviewed by VAR, a penalty was awarded. Pető Martín stepped up and calmly placed the ball into the bottom right corner of the net to equalize at 1-1.

The second half saw increased intensity. Nazar Kovalenko, making his first start of the season, delivered a key pass to Lamine Colley, who advanced past his defender and fired from 12-13 meters out to put Diósgyőr ahead 2-1.

Both teams hit the woodwork during the match, but the score remained unchanged. Kisvárda’s Gábor Molnár received two yellow cards in the 90th minute after protesting a decision while claiming injury, resulting in his dismissal.
