It was his second goal of the match and put the hosts two goals ahead. In the 90th minute Denis Visinsky pulled one back to make it 2–1, with Sampson Dweh providing the assist.

More shots for the visitors, more corners for the hosts
Ferencvárosi had 54% possession, Viktoria Plzeň 46%. The visitors had 18 shots, the hosts 12. Shots on target were 7 and 6 respectively, so the gap in shots on target was small.

Plzeň without Adu and with Vydra in reserve
Before the match Prince Kwabena Adu did not travel with the squad to Budapest, and the coach gave no reasons. Česká televize wrote that the player most likely is not injured. Matěj Vydra, back after knee surgery, was ready to play for 10–20 minutes, and the course of the match was to decide whether he came on. That was the visitors' squad situation before the first whistle.
Runs and late goals this season
The hosts stayed unbeaten once again and scored in their 11th match in a row. In European competition they still have not lost: a record of eight wins and two draws includes the qualifiers. Plzeň have not won in Budapest in their last three visits over a year and a half. Visinsky's goal in the 90th minute was one of 3 conceded by Ferencvárosi after the 75th minute, out of 7 in total this season. The hosts scored 5 of their 21 goals after the 75th minute, the visitors 2 of their 6. Plzeň conceded 2 of their 9 goals after the 75th minute.
