Match Report

TTA report

Honved were much too good and were applauded generously at time-up. Rae went close then a shot from 18 yards shocked Thistle (9). Honved hit the bar before Coulston tested the keeper who was in brilliant form. A header (54) and a shot close in (61) completed the master class on defending and counter-attacking.

• A chess-board duel for PT 'keeper Alan Rough and Honved Olympic star Lajos Szűcs yesterday… the Scot won this unusual pre-match warm-up - and hopes the result will be repeated on the pitch tonight at Firhill. (DR)

• Rough punches clear, Strachan stands by, Glavin looks on. (PIN)

• Partick Thistle right half Ronnie Glavin finds it tough going at Firhill last night. Ringed by four defenders and Honved goalkeeper, Bicskoi, Glavin just fails to connect. (DR)

• Honved's Kosma puts the final touch to score the Hungarian's third goal at Firhill last night and send Thistle reeling out of the UEFA Cup. Keeper Alan Rough is well beaten and Hugh Strachan is just too late with his challenge. (DR)
