FELCSÚT, Hungary (Interstat) — Puskas Akademia FC and Debrecen played to a 1-1 draw Sunday in their NB I season opener at Puskás Akadémia Pancho Aréna.

The result defied pre-match projections, as Debrecen entered with a 72.7 percent win probability according to Interstat’s ELO system. The match unfolded as a defensive stalemate until Daniel Lukacs broke through for the home side in the 30th minute.

Debrecen found its equalizer in the second half via substitute Donát Bárány. The game grew increasingly chippy, producing six yellow cards, including one to Lukacs. The final score matched the Interstat game simulator’s prediction. Both clubs begin the Hungarian league campaign with identical records of zero wins, zero losses and one draw.
