FULL TIME! Hungary hold France to a 1-1 draw in Budapest, France. A very important point for Hungary while France lose the chance of sealing a spot in the Round of 16. France dominated Hungary for the entirety of the first half but then the home team scored through Attila Fiola against the run of play and took a 1-0 lead into the break. In the second half, Hungary focussed all their energy into keeping shape and defending well and for most part of the match, they did. In the 66th minute, Antoine Griezmann scored the equaliser as the ball fell for him with some good fortune. After that goal, France made attempts to get a second but Hungary held on and for most part of the game, they didn't let France make dangerous moves. A hearty performance from Hungary - one they would be very proud of.
Hungary 1-1 France

🇭🇺 Fiola strikes just before break
🇫🇷 Griezmann nets second-half equaliser
🤔 Who impressed you? #EURO2020
66' | GOAL! Antoine Griezmann makes it 1-1. Schoolboy error in defence from Hungary. A long ball comes near the Hungary box and the bounce deceives both Hungarian central defenders and they let it bounce. As soon as it bounces, Mbappe outpaces them to get to the ball and with a feint gets the ball in the middle. Orban cannot clear it and the ball falls for Griezmann, who finds the back of the net.
Normal service resumes!

HALF TIME! What a brilliant twist towards the end of that first half. France dominated the entire half, had a few excellent chances to take the lead but they missed those chance and they were made to pay the price. In the stoppage time, Hungary's Attila Fiola received the ball from Sallai, outran Pavard, fought off Varane and calmly slotted the ball home.

🇭🇺🆚🇫🇷 Fiola puts Hungary ahead before break...
😮 Did you see that coming? #EURO2020
45+2' | GOAL! Hungary have the lead against the run of play! Attila Fiola gives Hungary the lead with a composed finish. Sallai moves up the pitch and puts in a good through ball for Fiola. Raphael Varane has to pull out of the challenge or he would have given away a penalty. Fiola stays calm and slots the ball home.
The crowd is going berserk, Didier Deschamps is annoyed!
