Seged saw off Balatonfüred 38:28 in the NB I on Saturday afternoon. The hosts moved into fourth place with four points from three games, while the visitors remain ninth on two from two. Extended their unbeaten run to three with a result that felt comfortable from the opening minutes.
By then the pattern had already set in. Balatonfüred came looking for something different from their away performances, but Seged sat deep and soaked it up before turning it on. Three goals in quick succession before the break changed the complexion of the contest. Picked up two bookings in five minutes for the visitors, and that showed in the second half.
We had this one right. Called for a home win with confidence at 78 per cent, and the match told the same story. Seged didn't need to chase anything — they controlled the tempo and punished Balatonfüred whenever the visitors tried to overextend. One mistake ends it in this kind of game, and the visitors made too many of them.
The scoreboard reads 38:28, but the gap feels larger when you watch how Seged moved the ball. They didn't force anything, let the game come to them, and when Balatonfüred pressed they had space to exploit. The old head settled them down when the visitors got within seven goals, and that was the moment.
Seged now sit on four points with one game played more than the leaders. Balatonfüred have two matches under their belt and still haven't found consistency away from home. Are weighing up a move in their squad, but the real issue is structural — they lack the depth to sustain pressure for sixty minutes.
