Willie McStay was delighted by Ujpest's 4-1 win over Diosgyor which got his side back to winning ways.
Four months is a long time to wait for a league win but after a three month winter break the former Celtic coach was pleased to see his side remain in fourth place, a point behing Gyor in third position.
"It was a satisfying win for us," McStay admitted. "We worked hard in training through the week and got our rewards.
"Diosgyor equalised but that was another test for us, we never panicked and came back strongly which was pleasing.
"Peter Kabat was in form, when he's playing it gives the side confidence and he's a match winner. He scored twice but brings much more than goals to the team.
"Mark Millar had a good game as well, he's adapting to the physical side of the game and is becoming more influential.
"He scored his first goal the previous week and is recapturing the form that he showed before getting injured."
Life and football in Budapest is certainly different to SPL fare.
Sky Sports News in the office and the internet keeps McStay and assistant Joe McBride upto date with everything that's happening at home.
Budapest has thanfully avoided following the Prague blueprint of becoming everyone's favourite stage night destination but there's no shortage of tourists with football in the five club city a popular attraction.
McStay explained: "There always seems to be some Scottish supporters over at our matches and they enjoy themselves.
"On Sunday there was a party of six from Edinburgh who support Hearts or Hibs.
"Every year they make a weekend of it somewhere and go along to take in a match.
"All that they need to do is put on some 'Jimmy wigs' and they can be virtually certain of appearing on telly or in the papers.
"They got full hospitality for £60 and I ended up giving some of them a lift back to their hotel- I'm not sure if that would take off in the SPL.
"It's great to hear other Scottish voices around the club and if anyone is looking for a good weekend with some passionate football they are very welcome at Ujpest."
