A real ordeal in Algyő! Goodwill Pharma Szeged v UNI GYŐRETO (replay)
Machine-translated from Hungarian.
Our team’s final away fixture of the year took place on the second weekend of Advent; we played as guests of Goodwill Pharma Szeged in Algyő, as the ice rink in Szeged is closed due to rising energy prices.
The first 10 minutes of the match were a real nightmare; we couldn’t get into the rhythm of the game, and the home side scored 4 goals from 5 shots on goal during that period. Following a change of goalkeeper (Szeles » Mészáros), the pattern of play changed slightly, but we failed to score from any of the 19 shots on goal in the period. (4–0)
That’s when the real ordeal began: a section of the ice rink had come loose. Although they spent a long time trying to repair it, it was eventually decided that the ice was unfit for play, so the match was abandoned.
In accordance with the decision of the competition committee, the match must be replayed; the parties are still discussing the date for this.
