On Saturday evening, of the two newcomers to the Andersen League 2, Óbuda Hockey Academy took to the ice at the Győr Ice Sports Centre. We remain unbeaten at the top of the table, so there was no question that our aim was to secure all three points on home ice.
This mindset was evident right from the start; we put the capital side’s goal under intense pressure, and we didn’t have to wait long for the first goal either. In the sixth minute, Mátyás Odnoga carried the puck through three defenders and finished the move successfully. Barely five minutes later, we extended our lead when Benedek Madácsi played a superb pass to the unmarked Barnabás Majoross, who fired the puck into the near corner with no chance for the goalkeeper. There were no further goals in the period, although there was no shortage of shots on goal from the Győr side.
The pattern of play remained unchanged in the second half, and Győr’s first goal came here too in the sixth minute, with Dániel Csölle scoring from a beautifully worked man-up situation with a superb long-range finish. The similarity between the two periods continued, with another home goal coming just over five minutes later, as Benedek Madácsi also got on the scoresheet. There were no further goals in this period either, so the lads went into the break with a comfortable lead ahead of the final period.
In the third period, the visitors managed to score a consolation goal, making good use of their man advantage through Dániel Nagy. There was still excitement in the closing stages; with a minute and a half to go before the final whistle, Bence Makovics found the unmarked Norbert Lévai, who rarely puts a foot wrong in such situations.
Once again, the home crowd saw a confident team; we maintained control of the game throughout.
We’ll need to be in the same form on Wednesday at 6.30 pm, when UMB from Banská Bystrica come to Győr for an EUHL match.
Come on, UNI GYŐR ETO!
