Ferencvaros put the disappointment of missing out on the title championship Play-Off by outclassing BVSC 13-4 in the first leg of the 3rd/4th deciders.
FTC-Telekom 13-4 BVSC-Zuglo (4-3, 3-0, 4-1, 2-0)
Ferencvaros: O. Cseho-Kovacsne Kaso, P. Petik 1, Z. Mate 2, K. Valentin 1, P. Pocze, V. Kovesdi 2, A. Illes 3, S. Kuna, V. Valyi, D. Toth Csabai 2, D. Domsodi 2, M. Regos, B. Neszmely
BVSC: K. Kakas, F. Fekete, K. Meszaros Farkas, D. Alaksza, A. Krenusz, T. Farkas 2, K. Hnatyszyn, D. Leimeter 1, N. Kele, Z. Polak, N. Alaksza, A. Gemes 1, A. Gyongyossy, E. Pecz
While BVSC were in the match for a brief time in the first period (4-3), they couldn’t compete when Fradi turned up the heat – and six unanswered goals (Mate 2, Kovesdi 2, Illes and Toth Csabi) secured the victory for the Torna Club.
It was an impressive game for Green and Whites of FTC. Anna Illes secured yet another hat-trick for side, while braces from Mate, Kovesdi, Toth Csabai and Domsodi will give Ferencvaros the confidence to put scores past BVSC in the next match on Monday evening at Szonyi Road.
Ferencvaros will also be content with their defensive record, conceding only four goals, three of which were in the first eight minutes.
Losing the first match, although not ideal for Matyas Petrovics, was not so much the problem. However, the nature of the defeat, to lose so heavily, will take its psychological toll on Zuglo – who will have to seriously improve if they want any chance of securing 3rd place in the OB I.
