Machine-translated from Hungarian.
On Friday evening, we played our second match at the UNI GYŐR HOCKEY CUP, where we faced HC UNIZA from Žilina.
The first period was a really evenly matched contest, but unlike in the match against the Sabers, we managed to make better use of our chances. In the seventh minute, Benedek Madácsi fired off a mid-range shot which found its way into the visitors’ net. 1–0
Seven minutes later, Bendegúz Jábor got into a good position and scored from a pass played back from behind the goal. 2–0
It looked as though the lads would go into the break with this score, but 40 seconds before the half-time whistle, Nikita Bogdanov finished off a fine counter-attack. 3–0
The second period also got off to a brilliant start for our team; right in the first minute, István Szűcs produced a marvellous solo run, starting from our own third. 4–0
Halfway through the half, Bendegúz Jábor’s shot took a lucky deflection off a defender, extending our lead to 5. 5–0
Barely a minute and a half later, Bendegúz Jábor was once again in the spotlight; with excellent positioning, he managed to break through the Žilina defence and, as it later transpired, seal the final score. 6–0
By the final third of the match, the visitors’ momentum had clearly waned, but we were unable to convert our pressure into a goal.
**The team showed no signs of the defeat they had suffered the previous day; the lads displayed a wonderful fighting spirit and confidently secured these three points.
Our young goalkeeper, Simo Noah Áron, saved all 32 shots he faced, achieving a magnificent clean sheet. Congratulations!**
Come on, UNI GYŐR ETO!
