Hungary Women’s Under 19s reach Elite round

Hungary Women’s Under 19 national team qualified for next spring’s 2016 UEFA European Championship Elite Round in style by beating Kazakhstan 5-0 in Bük today thanks to a brace from captain Zsanette Kaján and further goals from Emese Szakonyi, Mónika Gelb and Lilla Turányi.

The win combined with Serbia’s 6-1 loss at the hands of group winners Germany means Hungary qualify for the Elite Round next March in second place in the four-team table.

Sándor Turtóczki, Hungary head coach:
At the start of the first half we made it difficult for ourselves and couldn’t convert our first few chances, so we became a little bit more nervous and the girls a bit flustered. However, we relaxed after the opening goal and finally the difference between the two teams became apparent – our victory was well-deserved by virtue of this difference. I am delighted that we have a team which can play a tournament successfully in the way we had planned it and I take my hat off to the girls in recognition that in every measurable way we realised our plans by playing conscious, disicplined football.
