Ferencváros claimed their first victory of the 2026-27 season, narrowly defeating Zalaegerszeg 1-0 and climbing off the bottom of the league standings. The match was a hard-fought affair, with both teams creating chances and facing significant goalkeeping performances.

The decisive moment appeared to come in the 81st minute when Cadú scored from 26 meters out. However, the goal was disallowed after a VAR review determined that Zachariassen may have interfered with play while in an offside position. This decision nullified what would have been the game's only goal, leaving the outcome uncertain.

Earlier in the match, Ferencváros was awarded a penalty in the 66th minute after Kiss handled the ball inside the box. Despite the opportunity, the team's scorer, Corbu, failed to convert, as ZTE goalkeeper Bence Gundel-Takács made a save. This mirrored his performance in the spring cup final, where he also denied Ferencváros.

Zalaegerszeg also had a late chance to equalize in the 92nd minute through Szendrei, but Dibusz made a spectacular save to preserve Ferencváros's lead. The remaining minutes passed without further incident, securing the crucial three points for Ferencváros.
