No success this time

Away, at the home of last year's bronze medalist Mosonmagyaróvár, the championship fights of our academy continued from six o'clock tonight.

 Our handball players expected to make up for last week’s defeat. The first minutes of the clash were more about the hosts, but after a 3-1 home lead, our team arranged their ranks and was able to reverse with the hits of Bulath and Fodor (3-4). However, we could not be happy about the lead for a long time, because the mistakes made in the attack were punished by the host with quick goals, and after the 7-4 advantage of Mosonmagyaróvár in the 11th minute, Attila Vágó had to call a timeout. After a short break, the opponent led to 8-4, when the Kohász players started to be more decent on the court, halving their disadvantage thanks to the hits from Borgyos, Szalai and Bulath, and in the 24th minute DKKA reduced their disadvantage to a minimum (13-12). Unfortunately, the annoying mistakes came again in the middle of the half, ours scored three goals in a row, and although Bulath and Szalai also scored a brilliant goal, MKC could be happy with the 17-14 advantage when they reached the break.

At the beginning of the second thirty minutes, the hosts got away by four, but then a better period came for us as well and again "only" two goals separated the two teams. The defense unfortunately somehow did not work well so in the 37th minute the hosts could relieve themselves and play more calmly again (22-18). Mainly so that when our team finally managed to score goals, the counter came almost immediately on the other side, so Mosonmagyaróvár were even closer to success when it came to the last quarter of the game (27-23). We had to come up with a flawless last period if we wanted to get points at the end. Szalai and Mrmolja halved the disadvantage again, but just like earlier it was in vain, we have not been able to catch up with the host. In addition, the guests reacted this time with a 5-0 run, their attackers found an easy way to our tiring defense. Although Szalai broke our almost 10-minute goal silence, by the end the difference between the two teams grew bigger, MKC did everything in the last stage of the match, in the end János Gyurka's team kept the two points at home with an eight-goal victory. After the national team break, the team of Siófok which started the season badly, awaits the Kohász Girls on 16th October.
