Telekom Veszprém visited SBS-Eger in the K&H League. Veszprém started the game but did not manage to score from the first offense. Later Manaskov did for the first time in the 2nd minute. The home team could not find the net in the first minutes, but from their mistakes they let Veszprém reach 3:0. In the 6th minute, Székely received a red card, after a collision outside the six meter area. From this powerplay, Eger came back to a draw with the two goals of their goalkeeper. The draw did not last long, in even numbers Veszprém started to run, and made it 4:8 in the 10th minute. Edmond Tóth called a time out immediately. Veszprém could keep their four-goals lead in the 20th minute as well. The difference grew to the half time, the teams went to the dressing room with a 12:20 Veszprém advantage.
 
The second period started with a lot of technical mistakes on both sides. Eger was really active on the right wing, they scored most of their goals from there. Around the 40 minute mark, Tönnesen’s goals brought the team forward to a 16:24 advantage. A minute later Veszprém put 10 goals between the teams with 16:26. Our opponent tried to score quickly from their offenses, which made us score easy fastbreak goals. Edmond Tóth has to call another timeout at 14 goals difference. The „Építők” was leading 18:33 in the 50th minute. Our team won against Eger, who only played their second game tihs season, by leading all through the game, and hence guarding their unbeaten series. Final result: SBS-Eger – Telekom Veszprém 21:40
 

David Davis: I am satisfied with the result and with my team. The boys played well today. Eger did not play for three months so good luck to them in the future.
 
Gasper Marguc: We wanted to get back the good feeling after the international break to feel how it feels like playing well. We managed to do so and we could prepare for the Champions League next week. We took the game seriously for 60 minutes and played good handball. We are looking forward to the CL game.

 

 
Edmond Tóth: Congratulations to Veszprém. I am happy they took this game seriously and dictated high tempo for 60 minutes, while defending well also. Today we could measure how we are right now. Everybody did their best. Our attacks were full of mistakes still and our efficiency was not so good either.
 
Tibor Balogh: Finally we managed to play a game after the hard weeks and months behind us. We had a good preparation in the summer, then we had to stop and start all over. We were looking forward to this game a lot, and it would have been good to play in front of our fans. We do not know what the future holds, but we keep on going.
