The game began with a basket by the home team, but they couldn't be happy for long about it, because we made a 7-0 run led by Angela and Jeca to respond to it. However, Süle continued to score for the home team: She came up with a triple this time (3rd minute 5-7). Jeca and Angela kept scoring, to which only Suppán could react at the other end. Halfway through the first period we were ahead by 6 points (5th minute 9-15). The next few minutes showed a scoring battle between Virág and Barnai, which was won by our talented youngster 5-6 giving us a 7-point lead. After the exchange of baskets between Süle and Tina the difference has reached double digits (9th minute 16-26). Then Angyal stepped up for the home team with 2 points, which made coach Iniguez call his first time-out of the game (9th minute 18-26). Following the break Crystal put two points between the teams getting our 10-point lead back, and then she made an assist to Virág who scored her 3rd triple of the game. Crystal continued to shine with another basket, growing our lead to 15 as the quarter came to an end (10th minute 18-33).

The second period began with Tina grabbing the offensive rebound after Aleks' missed shot and converting it into two points. She couldn't be stopped in this period of the game, and scored another double. After the cooperation by Crystal and Aleks we grew our lead above 20 points (13th minute 18-39), and we kept attacking the basket which resulted in Jeca making a shot as well. The home team thought they had seen enough and coach Balogh called her first time-out of the game (13th minute 18-41). After the team-talks the first basket was made by Angela off of the 3rd assist by Yvonne. In the next offensive possession Angela returned the favor and gave an assist to Yvonne for her first points in the game, which meant that we were on a 19-0 scoring run. Angyal made a shot for the first time in the second quarter for the home team after an almost two-minute scoring drought ending our run (17th minute 20-45). Angela and Jeca both converted a shot for two, and Galántai also made one for BEAC, but Zsófi's triple afterwards marked our 30-point lead (19th minute 22-52). Until the end of the half Jeca made yet another double setting the half-time result (20th minute 22-54).

Angela opened the second half with one of two free throws made, and then gave an assist to Crystal for two points. After that Virág layed it off to Yvonne for another double, which was followed by a shot from close in by Aleks off the assist by Yvonne. Then came the first points for BEAc in this period on a triple by Szabó (24th minute 25-61). Angela converted both shots from the line, to which Barnai responded with a double. After drawing two fouls Yvonne got two free throws, since we were already in the bonus, and she made both of them. Virág also showed her skills with yet another triple, increasing our lead above 40 points (25th minute 27-68). Although she didn't stop there, and following some free throws by BEAC she made another from downtown. With both shots made from the line Süle was the first to reach double figures for the home team (25th minute 32-71). While Dalma also scored her first points in the game BEAC could mostly be dangerous from the free throw line in this quarter. Debi put four more points on the table, and after yeat another free throw Aleks also made a shot from close in, but Tina put the icing on the cake after scoring a double and giving us a 50-point lead in the game, which was reduced to 28 after two more penalty shots by BEAC (30th minute 37-85).

The final quarter began with Betti scoring her first points in the game and that meant that every player who played in our jersey today had scored at least two points. Then Dalma converted a free throw, and a lay-up further increasing our huge lead in the game (33rd minute 37-90). Three and a half minutes into the quarter BEAC scored their first points stopping a 7-0 run. Then came a quite contested period, and with a little less than four minutes on the game clock coach Balogh called a time-out (37th minute 45-99). A minute later Dalma finally managed to bring us above 100, and Virág even increased our lead to 60. What's more, after the foul shots made by Angela we have reached 110 points in the game (40th minute 47-110)!

Roberto Iniguez: It wasn't an easy game despite the big margin, since we were playing in Kursk Thursday night, and we have a long road behind ourselves. I asked the girls to focus and respect the opponent, and I think they have fulfilled that wish of mine, like the scoreboard shows.
