Ferencvárosi TC Women took a giant step towards the Hungary Women's Division 1 title with a commanding 2-0 win over title rivals Puskás Akadémia Women in a tense top-of-the-table clash on May 16, 2026. Goals from forward Dóra Zeller and midfielder Gréta Benkő ensured the visitors left the Puskás Akadémia training ground with all three points, extending their lead at the summit to five points.

Match Overview

The opening 20 minutes were cagey, with both sides wary of conceding an early goal. Ferencváros gradually took control through their superior midfield, with Benkő dictating the tempo. The breakthrough came in the 35th minute when a quick throw-in caught Puskás off guard; Zeller latched onto a flick and drilled a low shot beyond goalkeeper Hanna Farkas. The visitors doubled their lead just before the break when Benkő's long-range effort deflected off a defender and looped into the net.

Key Moments

Puskás Akadémia started the second half with renewed energy, and striker Lilla Sipos tested Ferencváros goalkeeper Réka Szőcs with a powerful header. The home side were awarded a free-kick in a dangerous position, but the effort sailed just over the bar. Ferencváros then settled into a defensive shape, denying any clear chances. The win was sealed in stoppage time when Puskás' centre-back was sent off for a second yellow card, leaving them to finish with ten players.

Standings and Season Impact

Ferencváros now sit on 48 points from 18 matches, five clear of Puskás Akadémia with three games remaining. The defending champions look on course to retain their title, while Puskás must regroup quickly to hold off third-placed Győr in the race for Champions League qualification. This defeat was only Puskás' third of the season, but the gap may prove insurmountable.
