Hungarian OTP Bank Liga 2026 – Győr leads after round 2

The 2026/2027 OTP Bank Liga season opened with unexpected results: defending champions ETO FC fell to second place after a narrow loss to Vasas, while Ferencváros suffered a defeat at Paks. Puskás Akadémia secured a solid win and Honvéd earned a point, setting a competitive tone for the early standings. Ahead of the second‑round fixtures, Ferencváros promoted a 40 % discount on its 1899 backpack and a club‑membership package.

When the second round began, the matches lived up to the preview’s anticipation. On 2 August, Újpest FC rallied from a 0‑1 deficit to beat Debrecen 4‑2 in scorching heat, a game marked by an early goalkeeper error, a lengthy VAR review, and a controversial disallowed goal. Horváth Krisztofer scored twice and Dzsudzsák Balázs added a late goal, while head coach Szélesi Zoltán admitted he raised his voice and threatened players at halftime. The comeback highlighted the league’s intensity and the impact of weather‑driven scheduling changes.

Later that day, Győr delivered a dominant 4‑0 victory over Nyíregyháza Spartacus FC. Goals from Urblík, Njie, Djukanović and Bánáti secured the win, while several VAR checks confirmed each tally. Despite the absence of captain Vitális Milán, Győr controlled the match and moved to the top of the league table after the opening fixtures, adding a new leader to the early‑season scramble.

Ferencvárosi TC were held to a goalless draw by Vasas SC, earning a single point and extending their early‑season struggles.
