The Budapest derby that was played between Ferencvaros and Ujpest on Saturday, marked the first time in four years that both sets of ultras were present for the clash.

Due to increased security measures imposed by the club following the opening of their new stadium, Ferencvaros' hard-core fans had been boycotting their fixtures.

In the earlier stages of this season, the club and fans reached a deal, and the supporters were able to return to the stands, allbeit with a heavy police presence.

The host fans performed a choreographed display just ahead of kick-off, and flares were let off during the match from both sets of supporters, allowing for some spectacular visuals pitch-side.

Despite the lively, somewhat intimidating crowd scenes, the game failed to excite and fans were made to settle with a goalless draw.
