The handball tournament in Balatonfüred is proving valuable for preparation, as our team is set to play two matches over two days. On Thursday, we faced off against Dukla Prague. The match opened with a goal from Bozovic, followed by quick responses from Prague. However, from the sixth minute onward, our team took the lead. Thanks to Pásztor’s saves and strong offensive play, we were up 10-6 by the 18th minute. By the end of the first half, our team managed to extend the lead, heading into halftime with a five-goal advantage (15-10).
The second half began with two quick goals from Prague (15-12), but the Győr players held onto their lead, showing a score of 21-18 by the 40th minute. Midway through the half, ETO extended the gap between the two teams, heading into the final phase of the game with a 27-21 lead. In the last ten minutes, the only question was the final score margin. Ultimately, the ETO University Handball Team secured a decisive victory with a ten-goal lead, finishing 33-23.
„In our first match of the tournament, we aimed to establish a solid defense, which provided a strong foundation for the team. The players remained focused and successfully disrupted the opponent's attacks. We also demonstrated some good offensive plays, though a few mistakes reduced our overall efficiency. All in all, it was a good game, and the team worked well together." – said head coach Bálint Kilvinger after the match.
in the other match, Balatonfüred defeated KA Akureyri 32-24, securing their place in the final. This outcome determined that our team will face the hosts in the Friday final, which will start at 6 PM at the Forrás Sports Hall in Balatonfüred.
