The game would be scoreless at the half but things would change in the 71st minute as Dániel Gazdag blasted a shot that went off the post & then goes off the goalie. At first, they credited the goal to Dániel Gazdag but then changed it to an own goal for the 1-0 lead.
Who else but Daniel Gazdag to break the deadlock?
