Veszprém secured a 34:20 victory over BM Torrelavega in a club friendly match on Wednesday evening. The Hungarian side played at home on August nineteenth, marking another step in their pre-season preparations. The result continues a run of five consecutive wins for Veszprém across all competitions.
The hosts have been in fine form ahead of the new campaign. Their most recent outing saw them beat Sisne 45:21 on August thirteenth, building on a 49:32 triumph over Celje the previous week. Before that, a 44:25 win against Győr capped a busy ten days, while earlier victories over Szeged in both June and May showed consistency against their domestic rivals.
Torrelavega arrived with a mixed record in recent outings. They suffered a 31:25 defeat to Phoenix Toulouse on August thirteenth, following a loss to Bidasoa Irun in early June. However, they had shown they could compete, beating Guadalajara 39:31 in late May before falling to Barcelona and holding their own against Huesca in May.
The contrast in momentum was evident from the opening whistle. Veszprém, finding their rhythm, cut Torrelavega open at will throughout the ninety minutes. The Spanish side, still searching for consistency, found no answer to the relentless pressure applied by the Hungarian champions.
The fourteen-goal margin reflects the gap between two teams at different stages of their preparation. Veszprém ground out the win with confidence, while Torrelavega have work to do before competitive fixtures begin.
