Ferencváros TC Crushes Szarvaskend 15–0 in Magyar Kupa Opener

Budapest, September 13, 2025 — Ferencváros TC launched their Magyar Kupa campaign with a thunderous statement, dismantling Szarvaskend 15–0 in the Round of 64. The lopsided victory marks one of the most dominant performances in recent Hungarian cup history and reaffirms Fradi’s domestic firepower following their early European exit.

Varga’s Ruthless Efficiency

Star striker Barnabás Varga led the scoring spree with four goals and two assists, showcasing the clinical form that has made him a standout in both league and international play. His movement, finishing, and link-up play were instrumental in breaking down Szarvaskend’s defense within the opening minutes.

Squad Rotation, No Drop in Intensity

Manager Dejan Stanković opted for a heavily rotated lineup, giving minutes to emerging talents and recent signings. Naby Keïta and Jonathan Levi controlled the midfield with ease, while Daniel Arzani dazzled on the wing, contributing two goals and several key passes.

Response to European Disappointment

The emphatic win comes on the heels of Ferencváros’ elimination from the UEFA Champions League play-off round, where they fell 1–3 at home to Qarabağ. While the European dream was cut short, the team’s domestic ambitions remain intact — currently sitting second in the Nemzeti Bajnokság I and showing no signs of slowing down.

Fan Support Unwavering

Despite the continental setback, Ferencváros fans continue to pack Groupama Aréna, with a season-high 19,675 attending the Qarabağ clash and an average league attendance nearing 15,000. The club’s passionate base remains a driving force behind their pursuit of silverware.
