UNI GYŐR ETO HC began their campaign in the 2025/26 Andersen League season with an away match against FTC-Telekom. The season-opening match got off to an eventful start, but ultimately ended in a confident victory.
The opening moments of the match brought a real surprise: we lost possession immediately after the face-off, and just four seconds later the home side had already taken the lead through Kocsis (#12). However, one of the quickest goals in the history of the Andersen League did not dampen our momentum: we quickly regrouped and took control of the game. The pressure soon paid off: first Sebestyén Csata (#10) and then Dominik Sipák (#77) found the net, meaning we had turned the game around by the end of the first period.
Our dominance continued to grow in the second half. Richárd Horváth (#11) capitalised on a man-up situation to score his first goal of the season. Barely two minutes later, it was the Dézsi brothers’ turn to shine: Barnabás Dézsi (#6) scored his first goal in green and white, followed by his older brother, Bence Dézsi (#51), who also found the net. This gave us a four-goal lead going into the second interval.
The third period decided the match almost immediately: just 13 seconds in, Barnabás Dézsi struck again, capitalising on a pass from his brother. As the match continued, signs of fatigue began to show in both teams, with penalties taking centre stage, though the score remained unchanged.
The first match of the season was a real joy for us: after conceding an early goal, we kept our cool, and then, fighting as a team and with five different players finding the net, we secured a confident victory. You couldn’t ask for a better start to the season!
