Dabas secured a 33-28 victory over home side Egér Eszterházi in the НБ I on Saturday, 20 September 2026. The result leaves both sides still searching for their first win of the campaign. Egér Eszterházi remain bottom of the table with three draws from three games, while Dabas sit one place above them after two draws.
The away side held their nerve in the closing stages to pull away from a hosts side that had kept things tight for long stretches. By then, the visitors had already built enough of a buffer to see out the final minutes without looking over their shoulders. And here's the thing — this wasn't the outcome we had backed.
We had given Egér Eszterházi a 55 per cent chance of victory, but the match went a different way. To be fair, Dabas have shown they can compete against stronger opposition, as their recent results against Veszprém and Ferencváros demonstrated. The hosts simply couldn't find the breakthrough they needed when it mattered.
Both teams enter this round without a single win to their name, which makes the point differential important. Egér Eszterházi have played three fixtures and accumulated zero points from their three draws, while Dabas have two draws from two matches. The gap between them remains minimal, but the away side now holds a slight advantage in the standings.
The visitors have faced tougher opposition recently, losing to Veszprém 47-27 and Ferencváros 39-29 in their previous outings. Egér Eszterházi's recent form has been mixed, with heavy defeats against Neneca and Csurgó, but also a narrow loss to PLEK. This result adds another setback to an already difficult start for the home side.
The scoreline reflects a contest decided by fine margins rather than dominance. Dabas took advantage of the moments that mattered, while Egér Eszterházi could not convert their chances into the goals needed to stay in the game. The result keeps both teams in the lower reaches of the table, with much more to come.
