Ferencváros Women claimed a convincing 33:23 win against Budaörs on Tuesday evening in the opening round of the Women's NB I. The match took place on 2 September at 16:00, and the hosts made no mistake in their first outing of the new season. To be fair, the scoreline told the story of a team that knew exactly what it wanted from the start.
There were no minute-by-minute details available for the handball match, but the final tally suggested Ferencváros controlled proceedings throughout. They came out strong and never looked back, while Budaörs struggled to find their rhythm against a well-drilled opposition. By then, the visitors were already playing catch-up.
Both sides arrive with different memories from last season. Ferencváros Women had mixed results — a 31:28 win against Esztergom, a 28:31 defeat to DVCŠ Šafler, and a 39:22 thrashing of Zombathelyi KK among their recent outings. Budaörs, meanwhile, showed flashes of promise with a 28:24 victory over Vasas but also suffered a 25:31 loss to MTK Budapest. And here's the thing: form from last season doesn't guarantee anything this time around.
The standings tell only part of the story. Ferencváros sit fifth with zero games played, zero points — as do Budaörs, who occupy ninth. That is because the season has just begun, and the table says nothing yet. What matters is what happens next, and Ferencváros made a statement on their return to action.
