A convincing home win – just one step away from the league title!
Machine-translated from Hungarian.
In the third match of the Andersen League final, we hosted Lehel HC at our home ground, the Győr University Ice Sports Centre. The series was tied at 1–1, so we knew full well that a crucial match lay ahead of us.
First period
We started the match at a fast pace and put our opponents under pressure right from the very first minutes. We had a huge number of shots on goal – nearly twice as many as Lehel – but we knew that even a single mistake could lead to a dangerous counter-attack.
Our dominance finally paid off with a goal: Martin Sági (5) found the net, meaning we went into the first break with a well-deserved lead. 💥
Second period
The second half was a more evenly matched affair, with chances arising for both sides. Several sending-offs disrupted the flow of the game, and we even had a two-man advantage for a short while, but we were unable to capitalise on it.
The period ended goalless, but it was clear that the match could be decided at any moment.
Third period
We stepped it up a gear in the final period and didn’t let our opponents get the better of us. This soon paid off: Martin Sipák (7) extended our lead, putting us in a more comfortable position.
Shortly afterwards, Sebestyén Csata (10) also found the net, extending our lead to three goals. In the closing stages, we found ourselves with another two-man advantage, and this time we didn’t put a foot wrong: Benedek Madácsi (18) sealed the 4–0 final score at the end of a beautifully constructed attack! 🔥
Overview
We played with discipline and organisation throughout, and in the third period we managed to completely overwhelm our opponents. One of the keys to the match was the performance of Máté Sági (55), who saved all 25 shots he faced to secure a shutout – a tremendous performance! 🥅
With this victory, we lead 2–1 in the best-of-three final, and we are just one step away from the league title!
🙏 Thank you for your fantastic support – it gave the team a huge boost once again!
