In our first home match of the year, we hosted FTC-Telekom in the Andersen League regular season, so our supporters could look forward to what promised to be an exciting encounter right from the start. The new year got off to a flying start, with a commanding away victory over MAC Ikonok, and in front of our home crowd, the clear aim was to secure all three points.
The first period proved to be a more evenly matched affair than expected; Győr’s dominance was unquestionable – we had more than three times as many shots on goal as our opponents (24–7) – but we were unable to find the net Földes’s goal, and the first period ended goalless.
By the second period, the visitors had also ‘woken up’; the pitch became much more open, and as a result, the number of shots on goal dropped significantly. A goal was scored, however, right at the start of the period – fortunately by a Győr player: Beni Madácsi carried the puck behind the visitors’ goal and played it back to Márk Vas, who was making a run into the empty net; he unleashed a massive shot and fired it into the top corner! (1–0) Over the next 19 minutes, however, both teams could only create chances, so we went into the second interval with a one-goal lead – which was far from reassuring.
The final period was reminiscent of the first 20 minutes; the lads were once again able to play with convincing dominance, but Fradi’s defence held firm, and the odd dangerous counter-attack was always a possibility. In the 54th minute, they managed to find a gap in the defence; Dániel Csölle’s shot ricocheted off Földes’s back and into the net, sealing the final score. (2–0)
We’ve had a brilliant start to the year; we kicked off 2025 with victories both away from home and in front of our home crowd – let’s keep it up!
There are still some important and closely contested matches to come in both the Andersen League and the EUHL regular season – it’s well worth a visit to the Győr Ice Sports Centre! **
