Balázs Dzsudzsák, the veteran Hungarian midfielder, found the back of the net, but his goal was a mere consolation as his team, Debrecen, was comprehensively defeated in their Europa Conference League qualifying match. The 39-year-old's late-career goal might signal a farewell to the international stage, though the immediate focus was on the team's significant loss.
Copenhagen dominated the tie, ultimately winning 8-1 on aggregate against Debrecen. The Danish side quickly reasserted their lead after Dzsudzsák's goal, with Elyounoussi scoring from the penalty spot. Copenhagen continued their scoring spree, with Král and Cornelius (twice) adding to the tally, ensuring their comfortable progression to the next stage of the qualifiers.
Copenhagen's victory was never in doubt, and they now advance to face either Inter Turku of Finland or Vaduz of Liechtenstein in the next round. Debrecen's European journey ends with this heavy defeat.
Meanwhile, other Hungarian footballers are still active in European competitions. Ákos Markgraf played the full match for Debrecen. Bendegúz Bolla celebrated a qualification with Rapid Wien against Estonian side Paide, having contributed a goal and an assist in the first leg. Rapid Wien's coach rested Bolla in the second leg. Their likely opponent in the next round for a spot in the main draw will be Hearts from Scotland, provided they can overcome a significant deficit against Benfica.
