Alpha Fejer Var Women lost 21:24 to Vasas in the Women's NB I on Saturday evening. The away side took all three points from the contest, ending what had looked like a evenly matched fixture. It was a result that contradicted expectations for the home team.
The scoreline tells a simple story: 21 goals for the hosts, 24 for the visitors. The margin of three goals suggests a close contest rather than a comfortable victory for either side. Both teams showed resilience throughout.
For Alpha Fejer Var, this adds a defeat to their record. They had been tipped as slight favourites before kick-off. For Vasas, the win moves them off the bottom of the table, even if only by a point.
We had backed the hosts to win this game with 61 per cent confidence. The prediction was wrong. Vasas outscored them in the final quarter, and that difference proved decisive. Three goals from nowhere is not enough in this league.
Both teams sit at the bottom of the standings with zero games recorded in the official table. This result will change that. The question now is whether the momentum shifts toward the visitors or stays with the hosts.
