Ferencvarosi TC defeated Trabzonspor 4-0 in the UEFA Europa League play-offs at Groupama Aréna in Budapest on Thursday, August 27, 2026. The hosts led 1-0 at half-time and completed a commanding win, with all four goals coming from different scorers.

Early red card changes the match

Ferencvarosi TC controlled the opening stages and took the lead in the 19th minute. C. O'Dowda finished a move assisted by A. Nagy to put the home side ahead. Trabzonspor's task became considerably harder four minutes earlier, when R. Malinovskyi was shown a red card in the 13th minute.

Despite the numerical disadvantage, Trabzonspor stayed within one goal until the second half. The visitors made three changes at the interval, sending on W. Pina, B. Bouchouari and A. Simsir for M. Eskihellac, E. Muci and P. Onuachu. However, Ferencvarosi TC soon increased its advantage.

Four different scorers complete the win

M. Corbu doubled the lead in the 54th minute. Three minutes later, Trabzonspor suffered another dismissal when S. Lopes Cabral received a second yellow card and then a red card. Dele converted a penalty in the 59th minute, giving Ferencvarosi TC a 3-0 advantage while Trabzonspor were down to nine players.

Ferencvarosi TC continued to press after Dele was replaced by I. Varga Zeteny in the 70th minute. K. Lisztes added the fourth goal in the 86th minute, with O. Nagy providing the assist. Lisztes was booked one minute later, the home team's only yellow card of the match.

Statistics underline home dominance

The numbers reflected Ferencvarosi TC's control. They held 67% possession and registered 11 shots on goal, compared with Trabzonspor's two. The hosts also had 11 shots off target to the visitors' three, four blocked efforts to one, and nine corners to four. Ferencvarosi TC committed 10 fouls, while Trabzonspor committed 14.

The scoreline was therefore consistent with the balance of play rather than a result shaped by limited chances. Ferencvarosi TC's advantage in possession, shooting and set-piece opportunities was reinforced by the two red cards, which left Trabzonspor unable to mount a sustained response.
