Antal Puhalak (Serbian Cyrillic: Антал Пухалак; born 9 June 1963) is a Serbian former professional footballer who played as a forward.

Career

Between 1985 and 1990, Puhalak played for Spartak Subotica, helping them win promotion to the Yugoslav First League on two occasions (1986 and 1988).

In the summer of 1990, Puhalak moved abroad to Spain and joined Segunda División club Celta, but quickly returned to Yugoslavia and helped Sarajevo avoid relegation from the top flight.

After a comeback stint at Spartak Subotica, Puhalak moved abroad for the second time, signing with Hungarian club Kispest-Honvéd in the summer of 1994.[1]

In the summer of 1997, Puhalak rejoined Spartak Subotica well into his 30s, going on to score double-digit goals in two consecutive First League of FR Yugoslavia seasons (1997–98 and 1998–99).
