# Hungary football season kick‑off 2026 – early results > Live situation record from CLSTR: https://clstr.news/situations/hungary-football-season-kickoff-2026 > Updated: 2026-09-05T19:56:51.000Z. Sources: 47. Developments: 7. Following the fifth round of the OTP Bank Liga, Puskás Akadémia FC remains at the top of the table after a 1–0 victory over Vasas FC. MTK Budapest also secured a win, defeating Nyíregyháza Spartacus FC 2–1 behind two goals from Gábor Jurek. Other results included a 2–0 win for Paks FC against Újpest FC and a three-goal victory for ETO FC over Zalaegerszeg. Controversy continues regarding Nyíregyháza coach Tamás Bódog, who is serving a four-match suspension following a dispute with a referee. Bódog has criticized the Hungarian Football Federation (MLSZ), while club owner Bálint Révész has denied reports that the club imposed financial penalties on the coach. In the sixth round, Újpest secured a 3–1 comeback victory against Vasas at the Szusza Ferenc Stadion. Although Vasas took an early lead in the 48th minute through a Patrick Iyinbor header, Újpest scored three goals in a twelve-minute span during the second half. Étienne Amenyido equalized in the 71st minute, Aljosa Matko converted a penalty in the 75th minute, and Gleofilo Vlijter scored in the 82nd minute to complete the turnaround. This victory marks the first time Újpest has defeated Vasas at home since October 1997. In a subsequent high-stakes derby at the Groupama Aréna, Ferencváros and Újpest played to a 2–2 draw. This result represents the first time Újpest has secured a point at that venue since September 2016. Other recent league results include Debreceni VSC defeating Paksi FC 4–2, Kisvárda winning 2–1 against MTK Budapest, and ETO Győr defeating Kispest-Honvéd 3–2. ## Claims - Paks defeated Ferencváros 4-2 in the NB I season opener.
