Machine-translated from Hungarian.
On Wednesday, the Andersen League play-offs got underway for us too; our first tie – a best-of-three series – is against Lehel HC from Jászberény, and we were able to kick it off on home turf.
Both teams started the first period with great vigour, but neither side managed to capitalise on their chances.
In the second half, we managed to change both our tactics and our pace, which was reflected in the number and ratio of shots on goal (20:6!). The outcome was never in doubt: in the first half of the half, Bence Marth and Márk Nagy scored, followed by Ian Tiasin after the visitors had called a time-out, delighting the sizeable crowd.
The final period saw a more evenly matched game, but even here there was never any doubt as to which team would emerge victorious; in the final 10 minutes, Bence Makovics and Richárd Horváth also found the net, sealing the final score. Martin Szeles, meanwhile, finished the match with a shutout!
We kicked off the play-offs with a confident performance befitting the regular-season champions; the next match is on 21 February in Jászberény, where we could seal our place in the next round!
