In 1964–65, Mate was in and out of the team with Hamburger SV in Germany where most sources referred to him as "Andreas" Mate (the Hungarian version would be Andras).[3] In 1967, Mate played a single season with the New York Generals of the National Professional Soccer League.

As a result, Mate played the Cosmos first season.[4] In 1975, he played for the New Jersey Americans of the American Soccer League.
