Ferencvaros has reached the final of the Hungarian League playoffs after only one game of the semifinals. Still, it was highly anticipated.
Fradi faced Szolnok in the semifinals, starting with a six-point advantage based on their regular-season performance. The series of matches in the semifinals lasts until one team reaches seven points.
From the early stages of the matches, it was clear that there would be no surprise. Ferencvaros led 7:1 at the first break. For the remainder of the game, the reigning European and Hungarian champion increased the margin to 10, winning 23:13. Four players scored 4 goals each – Miguel De Toro, Akos Nagy (Ferencvaros), Gergo Kovacs, and Bence Szabo (Szolnok).
Ferencvaros will wait to learn which team it will play in the final, as the second semifinal series between BVSC and Honved hasn’t started yet because Honved is participating in the Conference Cup. Both teams carried three points from their encounters in the regular season.
In the first matches of the 5th-8th places playoffs, Vasas and OSC recorded victories. Vasas beat Eger 16:11 and advanced to the 5th-place game, having won seven points against Eger this season. OSC Budapest defeated Szeged 11:10, but it needs one more win to qualify for the 5th-place match.
