On Saturday, we took the field away against four-time Hungarian Cup winners ETO FC. It was never going to be an easy task, as we had already fought a fierce battle with the Rába-side outfit in the summer: back then, Tamás Preszeller's team salvaged a point in Kispest in the 94th minute, which is why our players travelled to Győr with perhaps an even greater desire to prove themselves. The strength of the green-and-whites is demonstrated by the fact that only Újpest and MTK had managed to defeat them so far this season, and aside from them, only our side had taken points off Győr.
The first opportunity fell to the hosts: Petra Kocsán took a shot from 18 metres, but her effort flew over the crossbar. In the 19th minute, the green-and-whites came close to opening the scoring: following a home corner, Thalita Silva headed toward goal, but Nikolett Krizsan kept it out with a brilliant reflex save. Shortly after, Dóra Süle played Patrycia Kozak through on goal, but our defender Levandrea Williams managed to clear just in time. After that, we were pinned back into our box as the hosts earned three corners in quick succession. Csilla Savanya's header first flew narrowly wide, and then our 19-year-old goalkeeper produced more spectacular saves. Despite the pressure, our team broke the deadlock in the 26th minute: following a pass from Sára Krisztin, Panna Nagy teed up Vachter, who headed into the net from close to the six-yard box (0–1). In the 38th minute, however, came the hosts' response: after winning the ball, Kozak found the near bottom corner from 16 metres out, and although Krizsan dove well, she could not keep out the Polish-Canadian forward's strike (1–1).
In the second half, Győr put us under intense pressure. After the restart, Patrycia Kozak had a major scoring chance, but Nikolett Krizsan once again came up big with fine saves. Tamás Preszeller's side completed the turnaround in the 84th minute: after a cross from Melissza Szabó, Dóra Süle slotted into the bottom right corner (2–1). Although our team gave everything in the final minutes to find an equalizer, it was the hosts who celebrated at the final whistle.
Our team's nine-match unbeaten run across all competitions thus came to an end in Győr. Our players will wrap up the year next Thursday at home in a derby clash against Újpest.
