The Cup. Tatabanya Banyasz reached the final, a big achievement for pedestrian squad, mostly trying to remain the first division. Of course, they wanted to win the Cup – unfortunately, Honved also reached the final and meant business: Tatabanya lost 0-5!
After such terrible defeat, little positive can be said about the losers. But let give them some credit: Honved was mighty force at this time and Tatabanya was very modest squad. Short of a miracle, they had no chance – no chance of relative parity. Yet, nothing to be ashamed of: as a losing finalists, they were going to play in Cup Winners Cup. Not bad at all. They did than most Hungarian clubs this season, particularly the grands.
Honved won a double – it was inevitable, for they were really without rivals. It looked like this club will dominate Hungarian football for some years – they had long team, inevitable departures ti foreign clubs of key players would not be fatal. Unless the rivals rapidly develop new teams and Honved fails to recruit the crème of young talent.
