Helvecia went into the game knowing the Hungarian side having me them last season at the same stage of the competition.
Helvecia started well with both sides feeling each other out, and having chances, James Dalton making a couple of saves for his side.
Things changed mid way through the 1st half when ETO stepped up the pace and scored two goal in as many minutes Al-Ioami finding the net on 10 minutes and his team mate Gyurcsamyi scoring on 12 minutes to put ETO Gyor into a 2-0 lead.

At half time ETO held a 2-0 lead but Helvecia did not look out of the game.

Helvecia LIVE on Futsal TV
Helvecia have been providing a valuable service to their supporters around the world, Rob Brassett who runs the Facebook Page Futsal TV, has teamed up with Helvecia on this project to stream the team games live back to England, but also to places like Brazil and Portugal where players in the side have family.

We intended to stream the games live via Justin.TV but internet connections in the stadium ment another solution was needed, So we turned to our trusted Ustream Channel and were able to stream the games live where it looks great, but the playback need some work, this is mainly down to the streaming band.
The game against Stella Rossa on Sunday was watched by 5 people LIVE and 46 people have watched the playback, last night for the ETO Gyor game we had 35 people watching at on point and the playback counter is at 15 and going up. We believe this may be due to the ETO Gyor supporters watching as well as we posted the link to the game on their Facebook page as well.
This is a great move for Helvecia and Futsal TV being able to provide this service to our supporters.
