We couldn’t beat the Wolves. UNI GYŐR ETO vs Dél-Budai HC 2:3
Machine-translated from Hungarian.
It was our first clash of the season with Dél-Budai HC; we welcomed the team from Pesterzsébet to our home ground, the Nemak Ice Rink, on Saturday evening.
As expected, the first period saw the green-and-whites dominate, but we were unable to convert our chances into goals, which came back to haunt us later on.
The second half was a more evenly matched contest, but it started better for us: thanks to goals from our two Russian players, Karpov and Nesterov, we were leading 2–0 with less than 10 minutes to go before half-time. The Wolves, however, didn’t give up and, within less than two minutes, Szeredi scored twice to halve the deficit.
The final period also went on for a long time without a goal, but following a time-out, the visitors managed to capitalise on their numerical advantage, with Pálfi finding the back of Mészáros’s net. From then on, we were simply chasing the result; we even managed to win a penalty towards the end, but neither that nor playing with an empty net brought the equaliser, so the Wolves returned home victorious.
Next week we’re hosting Worm Angels, and the lads will have a chance to make amends. Come on, ETO!
