Substitutes Spark 1‑1 Draw in Hungarian NB I Opener
DEBRECEN, Hungary (March 14, 2026) (Interstat) — Debrecen and Nyiregyhaza opened their NB I seasons with a 1-1 draw Saturday at Nagyerdei Stadion, a result that aligned with statistical projections despite Debrecen entering as a heavy favorite.
The match was ignited by second-half substitutes. Nyiregyhaza’s Attila Temesvári broke the deadlock in the 57th minute, assisted by Bright Edomwonyi. Debrecen responded in the 76th when forward Đorđe Gordić finished a pass from Temesvári, who was credited with an assist against his own side.
