1 min read
For the second season in a row, Pénzügyőr SE lifted the trophy for the best team in the Hungarian Volleyball Championship and, for the second time in a row, they did it over Fino Kaposvár.
The end of the 2021/22 Nemzeti Bajnokság Férfi Extraliga was decided after the defending champion Pénzügyőr defeated the record champion, with 18 titles, Kaposvár 3-1 (25:16, 19:25, 25:17, 25:17) in Game 3 of the playoff finals, thus winning the gold medal for the second time with a total of 3-0 in the series. It was the third successive league final for the winners.
Game 3 was similar to the first clash of the final, as the Budapest side proved to be mentally stronger than the rivals again despite losing one set, so after 2021, they re-entered the throne of the competition.
The ace of Balázs Majoros at 24-17 for Pénzügyőr in the fourth set marked the title defense for his team. Csanád Dávid top-scored the winnig side with 16 points, and he was excellent also in reception, as he closed the game with 75% (16 digs, 31% perfect).
