Sources: 118. Developments: 16. Ferencváros secured their place in the UEFA Europa League league phase after defeating Trabzonspor with a 5–0 aggregate score. Following a 1–0 victory in the first leg, the Hungarian side completed a dominant 4–0 win at the Groupama Arena in the second leg. The decisive match was heavily influenced by early disciplinary issues for the Turkish side. Ruslan Malinovskyi received a direct red card in the 13th minute, and Cabral was sent off following a second yellow card in the 57th minute, leaving Trabzonspor with nine players. Ferencváros capitalized on the numerical advantage with goals from Callum O’Dowda (19’), Marius Corbu (54’), Bamidele Yusuf via a penalty (59’), and Krisztián Lisztes (86’). Following the heavy defeat, Trabzonspor manager Fatih Tekke reportedly offered his resignation, though club leadership did not immediately accept it. Trabzonspor will continue their European campaign in the UEFA Conference League, facing opponents such as Freiburg, Red Star Belgrade, and Hearts. As Ferencváros prepares for the Europa League, their schedule has been finalized. The campaign will begin on September 17 against Celtic FC and conclude on January 28 against TSG 1899 Hoffenheim. Home fixtures include matches against Juventus, Viktoria Plzen, SCU Torreense, and NK Celje, while away matches will be played against AC Milan, Celtic FC, Lech Poznan, and Hoffenheim. In domestic play, Ferencváros recently secured a 2–1 away victory against league leaders Puskás Akadémia FC in the 6th round of the OTP Bank Liga, with goals from Kristoffer Zachariassen and Krisztián Lisztes. ## Claims - Ferencváros leads 2‑1 from the first leg against FC Twente.
