Val Pusteria HC — Fehervar AV19: 3:2, ICE Hockey League

Vals Pusteria HC secured a 3:2 victory over Ferencváros AV19 in the Ice Hockey League on 4 October 2026, with the home side grinding out the win despite what looked like a tight contest.

The result keeps Vals Pusteria in fourth place after five games, four wins and one defeat, while Ferencváros sit eleventh with three wins and four losses from seven matches. To be fair, the gap between the sides was visible in their records before the whistle blew.

Vals Pusteria had built momentum, winning their last three league games including a 4-2 success over Olimpija on 2 October. Ferencváros showed flashes of resilience with a 1-0 win against Villach on 30 September, but those moments were not enough to sustain them.

We had backed the hosts to win with 68 per cent confidence, and by then it became clear that home advantage and recent form were working together. The visitors need the points badly, but they found themselves chasing the game for large stretches.

The two-goal margin tells you this was not a close affair in the end, even if the scoreline might suggest otherwise. Vals Pusteria held every card in the final third and did not let Ferencváros settle into any rhythm.

For Ferencváros the result extends a difficult run, while Vals Pusteria move further away from the bottom half and keep their eyes on the teams above them.
