Machine-translated from Hungarian.
One of our two regular-season defeats last year came against the South Buda Wolves in the Andersen League; this season, we’ve done everything we can to ensure they can’t catch us off guard again. There was certainly no shortage of matches this week; the home crowd were treated to both a Hungarian Cup and an EUHL fixture, with ‘only’ the Andersen League remaining.
We didn’t have to wait long for the first goal; Sebestyén Csata unleashed an unexpected shot that caught the visitors’ goalkeeper off guard. Our dominance on the ice was already evident in the first period, but we hadn’t yet managed to convert our chances into more goals; the Wolves even managed to equalise from a well-worked counter-attack, and the lads went into the break with the score level.
In the second period, we left nothing to chance; we struck right from the first minute, with Sebi Csata firing off another long-range shot to score his second goal. Towards the end of the period, we found ourselves with a two-man advantage, which we managed to capitalise on: Márk Almási fired a well-worked pass unstoppably into the net. Half a minute before the break, we managed to extend our lead further, with Mátyás Odnoga lifting the puck into Bozsó’s net from the blue line!
The third period followed the same pattern as the previous one, but this time Benedek Madácsi scored right from the first minute. From then on, there was no stopping us, with Richárd Horváth, Sebestyén Csata and Beni Madácsi all adding to our lead. The final minute of the match turned into a real ‘fiesta’: first, Szeredi pulled one back following a fine counter-attack, but half a minute later Barnabás Majoross ruthlessly pounced on a rebound. It wasn’t over yet: from an attack launched from the centre spot, Sebi Csata scored his fourth goal, sealing the final score!
We played some really good hockey again, and we’re still unbeaten after four matches in the Andersen League.
On Monday, the lads face another tough challenge, as Gladiators Trencin travel to us for the return leg in the EUHL.
