Bistriţa women defeated Alba Fehérvár 32:17 in a club friendly match on Thursday, 14 August 2026. The result confirmed what the fixture list suggested — a mismatch in current form. And here's the thing, the margin of fifteen goals told its own story without needing minute-by-minute detail.
The Romanian side controlled the tempo from the opening whistle. Fifteen-goal winners in a friendly don't need to chase the game, and Bistriţa didn't appear to. They worked their short corners efficiently and didn't give Alba Fehérvár breathing space.
Home form has been inconsistent for Bistriţa this year. They beat Galatzi 38:21 in May, then lost to Brest Bretagne both times they met. Four wins and one defeat in their last five friendlies — by then you'd expect a side to know where they stand.
Alba Fehérvár arrived with mixed recent results. A 40:17 victory over Dunajuvárosi followed a 31:23 loss to Esztergom. They've been competitive in some fixtures and vulnerable in others, which perhaps explains the uneven performance.
The friendly concluded without significance beyond pointing toward the season ahead. Fifteen-goal margins don't happen by accident, and Thursday's result suggested Bistriţa had done their homework.
