Mosonmagyaróvár saw off Néka 39:28 in a club friendly on Tuesday evening. The hosts dominated from the opening whistle, scoring 39 goals to Néka's 28. The result settles nothing in any competition — this was a preparation match, not a league fixture.
Néka have not won since April. Their last five games bring four defeats and a draw, including two losses to the same fixture this month. Against Győr they conceded 42 goals. Against Ferencváros they lost 22:35. The pattern is clear enough without embellishment.
Mosonmagyaróvár's own run has been steadier. They beat Néka 40:27 back in April and have since posted a 37:27 victory over Kisvárdai KK. Their most recent outing ended in a 30:33 loss to Váci NKSE, but before that they had won two of three and drawn one. There is no value left at that number when you look at the defensive side of things.
The margin of 11 goals suggests Néka were second to everything on the night. Mosonmagyaróvár came with confidence from their spring form and did not let up. The scoreline reflects a comfortable evening rather than a battle.
Both sides use these friendlies to test combinations before the competitive season begins. Néka will need to address the defensive frailties that have accumulated over the past three months. Mosonmagyaróvár can take satisfaction from the result, but the real test comes when the points matter.
