We weren’t able to put the defending champions under pressure.
Machine-translated from Hungarian.
On 5 November, we faced our biggest challenge of the season so far: we travelled to Banská Bystrica to take on last year’s EUHL champions, UMB. We were without several key players (Benedek Madácsi, Botond Fekete, Martin Sipák), which certainly didn’t make things any easier.
As expected, the defending champions started with intense pressure, which they managed to maintain for two periods, thereby sealing the match. (4:1, 3:0)
We managed to pick up the pace in the final period, and the contest became noticeably more evenly matched, but there was no chance of turning the match around (2–1).
**It’s a real challenge for our team to adapt to the stronger sides in the EUHL after the slower pace of the Andersen League, but every single match offers an excellent opportunity for us to improve.
And the Győr team always gives 100 per cent on the ice.**
Come on, UNI GYŐR ETO!
