MTK Budapest women played host to Budapest Honvéd in a club friendly on Thursday, 14 August 2026. The match ended 31-25 to the hosts at 14:00 local time.
By then MTK had already set the tempo. They came off a 34-27 win over Egerházi on 7 August and looked comfortable against a side that had beaten Kisvárda 31-24 only a week earlier.
There were no goals on paper to mark the turning points, but the gap opened early. Honvéd had dropped points in their last outing against Kisvárda and did not travel to make up the numbers. MTK, on the other hand, extended their unbeaten run to five across all competitions.
To be fair, the result told a simple story. No shots on target were recorded, no expected goals figures to weigh against the scoreline. Handball matches like this one hinge on momentum, not possession.
What matters now is the table position. MTK sit third in the league with 18 points after nine games. Honvéd are fifth with 12 points, six behind the hosts. The gap has not shifted, but the confidence has.
