On the second friendly game Telekom Veszprém hosted Gyöngyös, still behind closed doors. The guest team started the game, right away with a goal and Nenadic answered. Goals were scored in turn and the teams played in good tempo (7. min 4-4). Nilsson scored many goals in the beginning, the mates found him easily in pivote position. The first quarter of the game was not about the goalkeepers, both team scored 10-10 goals. For the 20. minute Gyöngyös ran away by 2 goals, after came 3 fast Veszprém goal and a guest timeout. Both team played 6:0 defence, without success. The coaches rotated their teams, but Gyöngyös was close to Veszprém. Cupara made some nice saves and for the break Veszprém built 5 goals advantage.
 
The second half started with 3 fast Veszprém’s goal, then in the 36. minute the difference was 10 goals (28-18). Yahia scored many brilliant goals, but the whole team led nice plays with Nenadic’s leading. For the middle of the second half Veszprém reached over 30 goals. In the goal Székely saved some big shots. 10 minutes before the end Gyöngyös took another timeout at the standing 35-26. Davis tried a lot of line-ups and he could be satisfied with the goals scored, but not with the goals conceeded. At the end the difference went over 10 goals and we could see a confident home victory.
 

David Davis: Today was much better than last time. We could show that we can do things we practiced in trainings. The attitude of the team was more relaxed, and found the rhythm. I am satisfied with the performance of the players.
 
Rogerio Moraes: I think we started much better than we did against Tatabánya. We wanted to play better and show something for the coach. The first half was not on a high level, but the second half was much better, we started well and could make a difference really soon. It was important so we could show ourselves that we can improve every day.

 

 
Ákos Sándor: We played a really good game and finally it was visible on the team’s performance that we played our game. Regardless of the final result congratulations to my team and good luck to Veszprém. Our preparation was not flawless, as the time without handball was too much. We try to practice the new things. The boys will get a week off now, but for when they return, we have a lot of things in our mind.
 
Benedek Nagy: It was great to be back to Veszprém. I think both teams could benefit from today’s game. We play a lot of matches, and some rest comes now. We held ourselves well in the first half, but we all knew that we are not the favorites here.
