October 03, (THEWILL) – Tottenham Hotspur extended their winning streak to five matches with a 2-1 victory against Ferencvaros in their UEFA Conference League group stage encounter at the Groupama Arena on Thursday evening. The result strengthens their position in European competition during the 2024/2025 season.
The London side, entering the match following impressive victories against Manchester United in domestic competition and Qarabag in their European opener, found themselves tested early. The Hungarian hosts created several opportunities, with Barnabas Varga having a goal disallowed for offside after 16 minutes of play.
Pape Matar Sarr broke the deadlock midway through the first half, converting from close range after testing goalkeeper Denes Dibusz earlier in the match. Pedro Porro nearly doubled the advantage before the interval, but his effort struck the woodwork, keeping the scoreline narrow at half-time.
The second period witnessed increased intensity from both teams, with Ferencvaros goalkeeper Guglielmo Vicario making a crucial save from Matheus Saldanha’s strike. Tottenham maintained control throughout the half, with debutant Will Lankshear and Cristian Romero both coming close to extending their lead.
Brennan Johnson continued his remarkable scoring form, registering his fifth goal in consecutive matches with a curled finish off the post late in the game. While Varga managed to pull one back for the hosts with a close-range volley, Tottenham held firm to record their second away triumph in nine European fixtures.
