This comprehensive win not only secured Ferencvarosi's place in the knockout rounds but also marked a significant rebound following a disappointing loss just days earlier.

In the 24th minute, Lenny Joseph opened the scoring, setting the tone for an evening that would unravel in Bekescsaba's defense like a poorly knitted sweater. Just five minutes later, Aleksandar Pešić doubled the lead, showcasing Ferencvarosi's attacking prowess that has been a hallmark of their recent matches, including a thrilling victory against European giants Red Bull Salzburg just days prior.

With the clock ticking towards halftime, Kristoffer Zachariassen added another goal in stoppage time, putting Ferencvarosi firmly in control at 3-0.

Instead, it was Joseph again who sealed the scoreline in the 90+2 minute, netting his second goal of the match to symbolize the team's dominance.
