Mezőkövesd Zsóry FC 0–1 Diósgyőr VTK
International Club Friendly | 4 July 2026, 17:00 local time

Diosgyőr VTK began their pre-season preparations with a narrow but hard-fought 1–0 victory over fellow Hungarian side Mezőkövesd Zsóry FC in an international club friendly. The match, played at a neutral or closed venue, served as an early fitness and tactical test for both NB I clubs ahead of the 2026–27 campaign.

Match Overview

The game was a typical early‑season friendly: cagey, physical in parts, and lacking the sharpness of a competitive league fixture. However, Diósgyőr showed slightly more intent in the final third and managed to breach the Mezőkövesd defence once. The only goal arrived in the second half after a well‑worked move that left the home goalkeeper with no chance. Mezőkövesd pushed for an equaliser late on but could not find the target, handing Diósgyőr a morale‑boosting win.

Key Moments

• Goal (0–1): Diósgyőr’s striker controlled a through ball on the edge of the box and slotted calmly past the keeper.
• Late pressure: Mezőkövesd won a series of corners in the final ten minutes but failed to convert any clear chances.
• Injury scare: A Diósgyőr midfielder went down with a knock but was able to continue after treatment.

Preseason Context

Both sides used the fixture to rotate heavily, with multiple substitutions across the 90 minutes. Diósgyőr manager Vladimir Radenković will be pleased with the clean sheet, while Mezőkövesd’s head coach Attila Kuttor will look at finishing drills in training this week. The result gives Diósgyőr a winning start to their friendly schedule, while Mezőkövesd will seek their first win in their next outing.
