Two for Tököli

Comfortable win
Captain Béla Illés, Brazilian striker Welton da Silva and Under-21 international forward Roland Juhász were on target for MTK, with Csabar Csordás' last-minute strike all Siófok could muster.
Kispest relegated
The final game in the championship pool saw goals from Zoltán Böör and Tamas Szekeres give Debreceni VSC a 2-0 win against Újpesti TE. Meanwhile, Kispest Honvéd FC were relegated to the second division after a 3-1 defeat at Zalaegerszagi TE sealed their fate.
Three for Kenesei
Kispest took the lead through Marius Sasu's fourth-minute penalty, but two goals in four minutes from international striker Krisztian Kenesei midway through the first half turned the match in the home team's favour, and Kenesei completed his hat-trick three minutes past the hour to seal the win.
Békéscsaba safe
Meanwhile, Békéscsabai EFC secured their place in the top-flight with a 3-1 win at MFC Sopron with György Tóth scoring twice, and Dunaferr SE were held to a 2-2 draw at home by Videoton FC Fehérvár.
