Debrecen – The home team lost in a big battle against the bronze medalist of the previous championship at the university competition.
For the third time in a row, the team of the University of Debrecen played a match in the Extraliga that ended in five sets.
The men’s volleyball players of DEAC were hosted by MAFC, who finished in third place last season, in DESOK on Saturday.
The first point of the meeting was attributed to Marlon, then Imre Kiss could applaud in the audience for his solutions. The first set was close, as reflected by the fact that for a long time there was no difference greater than two. The crowd often did not get to see long runs of the ball, as there were a lot of bad openings on both sides. Willian flashed at the start, giving DEAC a two-point lead (22:20), but the visitors turned the ball around in the sequel.
In the second half, Willian emerged as the leader, with his Brazilian Legion bombs giving the capital city some difficult moments. Although the South American points manufacturer excelled, MAFC had the upper hand for a long time. The final game was again very exciting, but now Debrecen’s solutions were sitting, so DEAC equalized (25:22).
The team of Antal Fodor, the coach of Budapest, started the third act excellently. Péter Nagy asked for time for the second time with the result 12:4, but his admonitions did not really have an effect, the players from Debrecen took a set advantage (25:18).
At the middle of the game, MAFC hung on with four units (6:10), and in the end it was not possible to eliminate the deficit. Fortunately, the active paid off, after 23:23 a “minis” could come, during which MAFC’s will prevailed.
We can almost say that this scenario is not a surprise, since the DEAC champion lasted five games against both Fehérvár and Kecskemét. Willian could be praised again (5:3), and after that Gustavo could receive the congratulations of his teammates (9:7). MAFC did not give up the fight, it turned it around (10:11). A controversial referee’s decision soured the mood at 11:12, then the decision was made to play the ball again, and the hosts benefited from this (12:12). In the remaining time, the guests scraped their chestnuts, so the team of the University of Debrecen gained one point.
Next Saturday, October 22, DEAC will be a guest at the home of the champion Pénzügyőr.
