AJKA, Hungary (Interstat) — In a commanding display that defied pre-match projections, Tiszakecskei LC routed host Ajka 4-1 on Saturday in NB II, Hungary’s second-tier football league, at the Ajkai Városi Sportcentrum.

The result marked a decisive reversal of recent form in the fixture and handed Ajka a sobering defeat on home soil. Statistical models had heavily favored Ajka, with Interstat’s ELO system giving the hosts a 65.6 percent probability of victory and its game simulator predicting a 1-1 draw. Tiszakecskei LC, however, delivered a performance of ruthless efficiency to secure all three points.

The visitors established control late in the first half. Myke Ramos opened the scoring in the 41st minute, providing a critical breakthrough just before the interval. The advantage was swiftly doubled shortly after the restart, with Bence Pataki finding the net in the 48th minute to stun the home supporters.

Ajka struggled to mount a sustained response, and Tiszakecskei LC effectively put the game beyond reach with two quick goals in the second half. Márton Zámbó struck in the 68th minute, and Ramos secured his brace just five minutes later in the 73rd, showcasing a potent attacking display from the visitors.

The home side managed a consolation goal in the 79th minute through Gábor Makrai, but it did little to alter the trajectory of the match. The final whistle confirmed a comprehensive victory for Tiszakecskei LC, which has now taken two wins from its last three league matches, including a 1-0 victory over Honved II on April 5.

The victory improves Tiszakecskei LC’s record in NB II competition to eight wins, nine losses and eight draws this season. Across all competitions, the team now stands at nine wins, 10 losses and eight draws. More significantly, the win avenges a 2-1 home loss to Ajka earlier in the season on Oct. 19, 2025, and overturns a 2-1 defeat in the most recent head-to-head meeting on Oct. 29 of last year.

For Ajka, the loss halts a modest positive run. The club had entered the match having won three of its previous four league contests, including a 1-0 road victory at Karcagi SC on April 5. The defeat drops Ajka’s NB II record to 10 wins, 13 losses and five draws. Their overall record across all competitions shifts to 12 wins, 15 losses and five draws.

The schedule ahead presents immediate challenges for both sides as the season progresses. Tiszakecskei LC will look to build on this momentum when it hosts Csakvari TK next Sunday, April 19. Ajka, seeking to rebound from this heavy defeat, faces a difficult road test the same day at Kozarmisleny.

The match underscored the unpredictable nature of the NB II, where pre-game statistical favoritism can be swiftly overturned by clinical finishing. Tiszakecskei LC’s four-goal output represented one of its most productive offensive showings of the campaign and provided a clear statement in its pursuit of mid-table security.
