Mezőkovácsházi Kézilabda Club secured a comfortable 37:22 victory over DVTК in a club friendly on Tuesday evening. The result came three days after a heavy defeat to Cegléd, and this time the home side looked a different proposition entirely.
By then, the match had settled into a rhythm. Mezőkovácsházi controlled proceedings from the opening exchanges, and the scoreline reflected a comfortable evening for the hosts. DVTК, who have not played since November 2023, struggled to find their feet against a side that had been active all summer.
The recent form tells a story of its own. Mezőkovácsházi had lost their last two friendlies against Cegléd and Debrecen, but they held their nerve here. DVTК's last competitive match was over two years ago, and the gap showed in the intensity of the exchanges.
And here's the thing about friendlies — you watch for movement, not results. Mezőkovácsházi's attack flowed when it mattered, and they ran out of legs less than their opponents. The crowd roared them on through the second half as the gap widened.
Three days earlier, they had gone down 37-31 to Cegléd. To be fair, that was a different match entirely. Tonight, the home side looked sharp, and the scoreline of 37:22 told you everything you needed to know about a job well done.
