Considering the standings, the duel between the 7th-placed BVSC and the 3rd-placed Vasas was the derby. But anything but Vasas’ win would be a surprise.

At the finish, BVSC reset the difference to five.
Ferencvaros demonstrated the power in the game against Miskolc 18:5. OSC and Honved recorded 13-goal wins too. Honved downed Kaposvar 17:4, while OSC beat Szented 20:7. Honved’s goalkeeper Attila Decker was outstanding with 85 percent of saves.
