Balatoni Füredi and Győr met in a club friendly on Friday, 15 August 2026, and the visitors took the three points with a 27:31 victory.
It is not often that handball gets this kind of attention, but by then the fixture carried weight. The two sides had crossed paths earlier this month, when Balatonfüredi won 30:27 at home, so the rematch promised something different.
Győr arrived with mixed form. They had lost 44:25 to Veszprém just nine days before, and before that they had dropped 44:26 away to the same opposition. On the other hand, they had beaten Komlói 31:29 on their last outing before the Veszprém trip.
Balatoni Füredi's recent run was steadier. They had won four of their last five matches, including that earlier victory over Győr, and only drew 27:27 with Csurgoi in between. A win against a side that had just lost heavily to Veszprém would have been a statement.
The scoreline tells you the visitor came through, but it does not tell you how. The goal difference of four is not enormous, and in a friendly the margin rarely matters much. Still, Győr kept their composure after a string of heavy defeats.
There are no points on the line in a friendly, so the table goes out of the window in these games. What remains is the sense that Győr have not yet found their rhythm after those Veszprém setbacks, and Balatonfüredi are building something at home.
