The home players started energetically, but at the beginning of the match, Monaco came closer to the goal, first their goal was disallowed due to an offside, then they had several chances within an attack, but Dibusz and the blocks of the defenders prevented the visiting team from leading.
After the initial difficult minutes, the game mostly took place in the field, so there was no threat to the goals. Basically, it was felt that the Monaco team started the match from a worse position, so the draw did not suit them: they controlled the game, but posed little threat to Dibusz's goal.
The Hungarian champion relied on quick counterattacks, but these were not as effective as they used to be. After half an hour, despite the infertile field superiority, the visiting team took the lead somewhat unexpectedly with a nice, angled strike by Ben Yedder. After the goal, the match continued in the same direction: a field game with Monaco in the lead until the break.
Ferencváros started the second half more energetically, accordingly
led more good actions in five minutes than in the entire first half,
however, the endings were often imprecise, so Nübel still had no serious work to do.
At that point, the Duchy team was mainly focused on defense and keeping the score, but once they had a chance after a free kick. In the middle of the half, the domestic attacks subsided somewhat, at which time the rival also had some promising actions.
However, the Hungarian champion increased the pressure again in the heat, and this one
also led to a result through Zachariassen.
The green and whites maintained their favorable result in the remaining ten minutes, including extra time, and achieved a sporting success, as they became the first Hungarian team to advance from their group in any European cup series.
