OSC’s best scorer Krisztian Manhercz didn’t play in the derby game, because he was red-carded after the end of the encounter between OSC and Szolnok seven days ago. Still, his team started well and took an early 2:0 lead. Vasas cut the deficit before the first break (1:2), but OSC’s Toth found the net in the 9th minute, and the visitors regained a 2-goal lead. Vasas started coming back shortly after. The hosts produced a 3:0 series to go 4:3 ahead (12th minute). OSC equalized immediately. Vasas’ defense was flawless in the following several minutes. The hosts kept OSC goalless for eight minutes, while they netted five unanswered goals to earn a 9:4 advantage (20th minute). That stunning series determined the rest of the encounter. OSC couldn’t recover from a 0:5 shock. The home team’s win wasn’t in danger in the last quarter and a half.
Five rounds are remaining until the end of the regular season. Vasas, perhaps, won’t catch up with OSC, but today’s win can be vital for them to secure 4th position before the playoffs.
Szolnok convincingly beat Szeged, although it had a slow start. The hosts led 3:2 after the first quarter. But, Szolnok responded with an 8:0 series. In the 17th minute, Szolnok had a 10:4 advantage and never looked back.
Ferencvaros cruised to a win over Eger.
