Paks 4-1 Puskás Akadémia
Referee: Karakó Ferenc - black shirt
YC:3; YYR:0; RC:0; Pen:0

The Paks drummers had plenty to bang about in the first half. Ádám Martin putting the home team ahead after 8 mins, Komáromi put the ball in the net 2 mins later but was offside so it didn’t count, Böde Dániel doubled the lead for the home team on 26 with an absolutely beautiful goal. Bognár István scoring in TAO at the end of the first half saw the home side go in 3-0 up at half time. After an entertaining first half the 2nd half felt a bit flat. Plsek put the ball in the net on 72, a lengthy VAR review followed, 2 players were offside and the question was whether Gera was obscuring the view of the goalkeeper. Referee Karakó carried out an OFR and the goal was disallowed. Corbu scored Felcsút’s only regular goal on 86. but Sajbán restored Paks 3 goal lead, scoring in the 89th min. Paks worthy winners.

Decent performance in terms of decision making from Karakó but he had started to relax a bit this season and build a better rapport with players. That was missing in this game. Hopefully just a one off because he has been performing well and I'd like to see that continue.
