Brief round up of today's games:

MTK Budapest v Puskás Akadémia - Referee: Erdős József
Highlight of the game was seeing Mr Erdős looking so happy & relaxed. He's often so serious looking or completely stressed out so seeing a big beaming smile from him today was lovely. Not sure what was going on ahead of kick off but he and several players from both teams were chatting and laughing together. A positive side effect of no fans in the ground - the players & match officials relaxed and laughing together. The game itself was meh, at best! Felcsút took the lead at 90+5 for anyone who was still awake to see it. Cracking goal from Géresi to be fair but Felcsút winning was not on my bingo card for today!

Mezőkövesd Zsóry v Újpest - Referee: Andó-Szabó Sándor
My team are at least consistent, unfortunately they're consistently woeful! My man Branko got booked deservedly so as he has ditched his white boots for yellow ones. By some miracle we had got the game to 2-2 and then Mr Andó-Szabó gave a penalty against my Lilák that looked a poor call. The Mezőkövesd player went down like a sniper had crept into the goal and from the replays as well as in real time there dd not appear to be any contact from Vincent. The camera views were not good though & maybe he'd clipped his heels or something that doesn't show on the camera angles shown, it wouldn't be the first time Vincent has given a dumb penalty away, nor sadly will it be the last but my gut feeling is it was a poor call. Mr Andó-Szabó had a better and closer view than me though.

The 2 early games came with red shirts.

Ferencváros v Kisvárda Master Good - Referee: Berke Balázs
Nowhere near enough Solymosi in #SolymosiWatch today   Literally 3 seconds across the whole 90 mins.  I'm pretty certain Mr Puhl owes me a red clad Mr Solymosi for round 19! Penalty for Fradi correctly given - they missed it. Dreadfully taken - I did not laugh honest! Kisvarda went 1-0 up but sadly couldn't maintain the lead and it ended 1-1. Decent outing for Mr Berke and he wore black so extra brownie points for that!

Mol Fehérvár v Budapest Honvéd - Referee: Bogár Gergő
It's 1-1 at halftime & Mr Bogár is actually present & clad in black. Assured first half where he has been very much in the background, letting the game breathe and flow & only reminding everyone he is there when necessary. He's definitely our future elite ref.
