MTK Budapest vs Komárno

The equaliser arrived in the 81st minute. Jurek drove infield from the right and pulled the ball back into the path of Kerezsi, who adjusted well to steer it home from close range (1-1).

MTK nearly snatched a winner in the closing stages when Átrok fired from close range, only for the Komárno goalkeeper to produce a sharp save — the final action of a contest that ended level.

Zalán Márk Kerezsi — MTK's most dangerous attacker throughout. He created the game's first chance with a clever lob, spurned a one-on-one opportunity in the 62nd minute, but showed composure to convert the equaliser when it mattered.

Y. Muritala (Komárno) — Scored the opening goal with a clinical finish from ten metres and led Komárno's attacking line effectively in the first half.

Jurek (MTK) — Introduced in the 60th minute, the substitute provided the assist for the equaliser, driving infield and pulling the ball back for Kerezsi.

MTK lined up with a strong XI — Demjén; Varju, Radic, Belényesi, Kovács P.; Kata, Zeljkovic, Hinora; László, Kerezsi, Átrok — indicating this was a dress rehearsal for the NB I season opener. The fact that Pinezits fielded a second team in a 3-0 win over Kozármisleny earlier the same day (15:30 kick-off) meant the Komárno selection carried the weight of a first-choice eleven.

The two goals came from a combined 2.0 xG (approximate), reflecting a game of moderate chances rather than a siege. Komárno's early efficiency contrasted with MTK's second-half pressure, which yielded the equaliser but not the winner.

This was MTK's final pre-season friendly before the 2026/27 NB I campaign. They open the season at home against ZTE FC on 27 July at the Új Hidegkuti Nándor Stadion. Komárno, who secured top-flight survival via a play-off at the end of 2025/26, also concluded their summer preparations under head coach Norbert Czibor.

MTK remain winless against Komárno in three meetings across the past three summers (0-1-2), though this result represents progress from the 3-0 defeat they suffered in the corresponding fixture in 2025.

A functional pre-season workout that revealed both promise and concern. MTK's first-half bluntness — a recurring issue in 2025/26 — resurfaced, but the response after the break and Kerezsi's sharpness in front of goal offered encouragement. The defence, anchored by the Radic-Belényesi partnership, limited Komárno after the early goal. Pinezits will want more incision from the start against ZTE.
