Next
up was the big one – Budapest Celtic Greens
versus Meglepetes. It was a battle of the top
two and at stake was the Group A title. Both
teams had the luxury of a free hit at the group
win as they were both assured of Cup qualification.
Both teams came into the game with a 100% record
but Meglepetes lead the way on goal difference
and therefore a draw would see them win Group
A.
Both
teams went for victory as not only was the Group
A title at stake but there was a chance of avoiding
the Group B winners in the Cup Semi-Finals if
they could finish higher than their opponents
in the table. At half-time we were no closer
to knowing who would win Group A as we reached
the break at 0-0.
Meglepetes
made their position a little more comfortable
when they forged ahead in the second period
thanks to a Marton Patik goal. The lead did
not last too long though thanks to a Levente
Kovacs strike which drew the teams level at
1-1. The two teams earned a share of the points.
The
result meant Meglepetes had won Group A and
finished the group phase as the joint top-scoring
team. They were the top scoring team in the
group phase in 2013 and 2014 and second in 2015.
Watch Meglepetes if you want to see goals!
