E.ON Ob I: no mercy for offensive lines

E.ON Ob I: no mercy for offensive lines

Favourites pull out one-on-one victory in the first real full day of E.ON Men's Ob I : in all seven games there were results on paper, at least three-goal successes, and the winners had at least 12 hits, although the defending champion Fradi left Pécs with 25. Anyway, 175 goals were scored in the seven meetings, which corresponds to an average of 25!

The defending champions FTC-Telekom set their sights on Saturday's European Super Cup final in Pécs with twenty-five goals. as a guest. Especially in the second quarter, the green-white machine started up, a 0-8 run showed the class difference. It is interesting that the three left-handers Márton Vámos, Dusan Mandic and Ákos Nagy together scored more goals (10) than the home team as a whole.

Last season's finalists, Vasas-Plaket, in a surprisingly close match was able to defeat Szentes. No matter how hard they tried, the main team of the BL, who at the same time were transformed in the summer and lost several quality players, could not tear down their rivals. Gábor Kis's team stayed there with two or three goals - and eventually pulled it to 13-10.

After the Eurocup qualifier at the weekend, there was still strength left in the offensive line of BVSC-Manna ABC, which 72 hours after He didn't stop until 16 against Recco, now he sprinkled 19 against Egri. It's true, there is still work to be done at the back, the 7-5 final seemed spectacular, but only for those who watched the events from the bench as an uninterested coach. Dániel Varga could only be happy that it turned out: Zsombor Ekler does not necessarily have to shine, the firepower is still strong enough. Or the hero of the weekend ended with 4/0, but Tatrai Dávidék produced honorably.

As for the other cup teams, the young team of Szolnok Dózsa-Praktiker, who gave a fantastic performance in Athens and were also first in the group, continued their triumphant march, even though the people of Szeged did everything to hang it. After the first quarter, for example, the scoreboard was 1-3, but Szolnok came back to win by the break, and the Hangay crew swept the second half with a score of 10-5.

From a coaching point of view, the most welcome production was the Endo Plus Service-Honvéd came out on top, namely in Kaposvár: although Ekler Bendegúzé "only" managed 12 goals, their defense was also very good, although Balázs Hárai was a serious reinforcement for the home team. However, in the second and last quarter, the Honvéd's defense was top-notch - they allowed one goal each to the Somogyi team - and Márton Szivós could go home with a confident victory.

And Genesys-OSC searched for and found some medicine in Miskolc. for the weekend pile up. It is true that the effects of the weekend still prevailed for eight minutes, as the Miskolc team led 1-0 at the end of the first half, but this was followed by a 0-6 OSC series, while the home team could not score a goal for 14:15 minutes. . What a denial, not much later, or after the first three quarters, the Brazilian Joao Fernandes came out of the water with a 13/15 indicator, 87 percent, in the visitors' goal, which in itself is a match-deciding statistic.

UVSE is tough. crushed the newcomers from Debrecen in a battle, the ratio of saves was striking here as well (11-5), although 25 hits were scored, it is true that the success of the purple and yellow team became certain by the fourth quarter.
