The Croats could not count on the six players from Podravka Koprivnica, the only country in the Champions League, due to a coronavirus disease, and Ivana Kapitanovic and Ivana Dezic were not members of the team due to injury.
Led by Zsuzsanna Tomori, the Hungarian team started well, succeeding six times in 12 minutes. An experienced player from Siófok had to do with every shot as a scorer or setter.
The Croats held out well, defended more and more effectively, and when they played with double human advantage for forty seconds, they managed to draw (6-6).
The Hungarians stopped after their 6-4 lead, their defense was imprecise, and in attack they sold the ball many times and ruined several shots, so they could only score one goal in the next 12 minutes (7-9). The coaching staff only requested time 16 seconds before the end of the first half, however, the players scratched themselves and there was a draw during the break (12-12).
The Croats started the second act with a good defense, the Hungarians with unimaginable attacks and bad shots. First the goals were taken alternately, then by two, and in the 53rd minute, when the Croatian team scored twice again, Gábor Elek and Gábor Danyi again called for time. This also did not help the band, who did not hit the net for more than 11 minutes, during which time the Croats decided the match with a 5-0 series.
The most successful player of the Croats was Camila Micijevic, who scored four goals from ten shots. Alba Fehérvár’s goalkeeper, Tea Pijevic, defended ten shots, Siófok’s substitute, Katarina Jezic, who also serves as the captain of the national team, hit three times.
Among the Hungarian goalkeepers, Banka Blanka closed with three and Melinda Szikora with five.
In the 28th match between the two teams, 17 Hungarian victories and a draw resulted in the 10th Croatian victory.
“The meeting was a great disappointment for us. We played deeply under our knowledge, almost without faith, and we were also unfocused.
We had a lot of technical failures and we also suffered against the open defense of the Croats. When we do get into a situation, our players who do not otherwise, or very rarely, make mistakes in such cases do as well. The biggest disappointment for us is that because of the work done so far and the attitude of the girls, we did not expect such a scenario at all, “Gábor Danyi, the federal captain of the Hungarian national team, quoted on the Hungarian association’s website.
The other match in Group C, the Netherlands-Serbia match, would have been played from 8.30 pm, but it was postponed one day because two Serbian players were infected with the corona virus.
