Soccer-Videoton clinch second Hungarian title

BUDAPEST, May 3 (Reuters) - Videoton FC Fehervar were crowned Hungarian champions for the second time on Sunday after second-placed Ferencvaros drew 2-2 at Pecs.

The club, founded in 1941, holds an unassailable 13 points lead with four matches remaining and had taken a huge step towards the title by beating Debrecen 2-1 away on Saturday.

Videoton, who clinched their first title in 2011, had another memorable season in 1984/85 when they reached the UEFA Cup final, losing 3-1 on aggregate to Real Madrid despite winning 1-0 at the Bernabeu.
