Esztergom women took a commanding 41-24 victory over Vasas in the NB I on Saturday evening, a result that keeps them top of the table after three matches. The hosts finished 3-0 with six points, while the visitors sit tenth on two points from one win and two draws. By then, the gap between the sides had become more than just mathematical.
Nothing in the final score came as a complete surprise. Esztergom had already shown their hand against Mosonmagyaróvár with a 42-25 win and Vaas NKSE with two separate victories. Vasas, meanwhile, had struggled to find consistency — their only point came in a draw, and they had drawn twice in three games. The scoreline simply confirmed what the table was already showing.
We had called for a home win before kick-off, 69 percent confidence, and the match played out exactly as expected. The hosts controlled the tempo from the first minute, and Vasas never found a way back into it. There was no dramatic shift, no late surge — just a steady accumulation of goals in favour of the side with more experience at this level.
What stood out was the efficiency. Esztergom had scored 42 goals in three matches, averaging 14 per game, while their defence had conceded just 77 across the same period. Vasas, by contrast, had found the net 75 times but let in 83. The difference was not in effort so much as execution — the hosts were sharper, and the visitors were often caught in possession when it mattered most.
The result puts Esztergom two points clear at the summit. Vasas remain in the bottom half, and the run of draws suggests they are struggling to close out games. To be fair, three matches is not a long season, but the pattern is already clear. The hosts have the deeper squad and the confidence to back it up.
