Friendly Game: Hungarian-Serbian General’s Match

The co-operation of the Hungarian Defence Forces (HDF) and the Serbian Armed Forces manifests itself not only in the joint exercises and training events of the armies of the two countries. It is by now a tradition that the top leaders of the Serbian and the Hungarian armed forces play friendly football matches twice a year. During the present – the eighth – futsal-match Lieutenant General Gábor Böröndi also entered the pitch. The sporting event was viewed by the Serbian Defence Minister Mr. Aleksandar Vulin and Lieutenant General Milan Mojsilović, the Serbian Chief of General Staff of the Serbian Armed Forces.

In the first half of the twice thirty-minute match, the Serbian team had a two goal lead, but in the second half of the game, the Hungarians improved with the magnificent goal of Colonel Attila Nagy. Until the last minutes both teams struggled heroically, but this did not change the result: the match ended with a 2:1 victory of the Serbs.

After the distribution of the medals and cups, Colonel Attila Nagy received the prize for the best goalscorer from Lieutenant General Milan Mojsilović. Lieutenant General Gábor Böröndi – conveying the greeting of Tibor Benkő, the Minister of Defence – bestowed a token of appreciation to Minister of Defence Mr. Aleksandar Vulin.
