Újpest beat Debrecen 2–1 through two goals from Aljoša Matko, giving coach Zoltán Szélesi his first win in charge. Matko's double took him to thirteen league goals and sole possession of the Fizz Liga scoring lead.
The striker headed Gleofilo Vlijter's cross in the fifteenth minute. Balázs Dzsudzsák missed a penalty for Debrecen before the visitors were reduced to ten men after Tamás Szűcs received a second yellow card shortly after halftime.
Matko added another close-range finish in the 64th minute. Amos Youga replied with a deflected long-range shot, but Debrecen could not equalise. Újpest also hit the post and had a later goal disallowed before securing the three points.
