Hungary v France: Euro 2020 – live!

10.55am EDT 10:55

Full time: Hungary 1-1 France

Lemar’s cross is headed wide by the stretching Varane, and that’s the last touch of the game!

10.55am EDT 10:55

90+4 min Griezmann’s free-kick is punched away by Gulacsi, then Michael Oliver stops play so that Botka can receive treatment. He was all over Kimpembe, grabbing his shirt, and then went down himself. There’s a VAR check for a France penalty!

10.53am EDT 10:53

90+3 min Ninety seconds to go. Kante is fouled by Fiola near the corner flag on the right. This is a good chance for France to shatter Hungary and steal a winner.

10.52am EDT 10:52

90+1 min A half full Coke bottle has just been thrown onto the pitch near the Hungarian keeper Gulacsi. Nobody seems too bothered by it.

10.50am EDT 10:50

89 min France are still pushing for a winner, albeit without too much conviction. Hungary deserve a point.

10.49am EDT 10:49

87 min Another change for France. Thomas Lemar replaces Ousmane Dembele, who only came on in the 57th minute. I’m pretty sure Dembele is injured.

10.47am EDT 10:47

85 min Hungary started with a 3-3-2-2 formation. Now it’s 5-3-2-0-0-0-0-0-0.

10.46am EDT 10:46

84 min A change for Hungary: Gergo Lovrencsics replaces the excellent Laszlo Kleinheisler.

10.44am EDT 10:44

82 min Moments later, Tolisso’s long-range shot is comfortably saved by Gulacsi.

10.44am EDT 10:44

82 min: Good save from Gulacsi! Griezmann gets between the lines and pokes the ball towards Giroud on the edge of the area. A defender comes across and diverts the ball* to Mbappe, who controls it deftly and hammers a rising shot with his left foot that is beaten away at the near post by Gulacsi.

* I think, though it might have been a deliberate touch from Giroud; it’s hard to tell.

80 min Hungary were level at this stage of their first game and ended up losing 3-0. They look tired, having worked like beasts in extreme heat, but they are hanging on.

10.40am EDT 10:40

79 min “Hi Rob,” says Ruth Purdue. “Please can you ask Simon if he looked at the love hearts in turn before he ate them?”

Of course he did. To do otherwise is frankly barbaric.

10.39am EDT 10:39

77 min If it stays like this, most bets are off in the Group of Death. France will be through but might not finish top, which would a change a few wallcharts.

10.36am EDT 10:36

76 min A double change for France: Corentin Tolisso and Olivier Giroud replace Paul Pogba and Karim Benzema.

10.34am EDT 10:34

74 min Sallai’s deflected shot from 25 yards is comfortably saved to his left by Lloris.

10.33am EDT 10:33

72 min It’s all France now. Dembele’s low cross is taken off Mbappe’s toe by Schafer (I think), then Griezmann is tripped just outside the area. Michael Oliver plays the advantage and Kante shoots wide. France invite him to bring the play back for the foul; he politely declines their kind offer.

10.31am EDT 10:31

70 min “Afternoon Rob,” says Simon McMahon. “I’ve just eaten a packet of Love Hearts for the first time in a while, and they were better than I remember. Rather enjoyable in fact. The last one urged me to ‘cheer up’ so not only have I had a welcome sugar rush, I’ve been given some sound life coaching as well. Maybe Uefa/the FA could offer them a sponsorship deal?”

10.29am EDT 10:29

69 min A clever free-kick from Griezmann finds Mbappe, who tries to hook a volley towards goal as the ball drops over his right shoulder. It’s a really difficult chance and he can only slice it wide of the near post.

10.28am EDT 10:28

It was a route-one goal, believe it or not. Lloris collected a free-kick and hammered the ball straight downfield towards Mbappe. The two Hungary defenders let the ball bounce and from that moment they were in trouble. Mbappe muscled Nego aside to take possession on the right side of the area, then moved away from Nego and drove the ball across the face of goal. Orban got a slight touch on the ball but could only divert it straight to Griezmann, who slammed it in from close range.

GOAL! Hungary 1-1 France (Griezmann 66)

And like that, Hungary’s lead has gone.

10.25am EDT 10:25

64 min France look rattled, and Pavard commits another silly foul on the outstanding Sallai. He has carried the ball brilliantly all afternoon.

63 min France have switched to a 4-2-3-1 since the introduction of Dembele. He is on the right with Mbappe on the left and Griezmann behind Benzema.

10.23am EDT 10:23

62 min “Really enjoyed the interview with Thiago Alcântara,” writes Phil Podolsky. “A player of creative genius who soberly acknowledges that the game is changing in a direction that’s hostile to what he represents, yet also understands that he’s not the protagonist of reality and everyone has to adapt. That’s the old ‘in the struggle between yourself and the world, second the world’ attitude right there.”

Sid Lowe consistently does tremendous interviews.

10.21am EDT 10:21

61 min Kleinheisler’s cross hits the hand of Kimpembe in the area, but it was down by his side and there’s no credible claim for a penalty.

10.20am EDT 10:20

60 min “Dear Rob,” writes Esther and Tamara. “Watching the sweltering match from sweltering Berlin. Hoping that Benzema gets his act together soon. We both agree that Kante has lovely shoes and that Griezmann (or as we have christened him Man Bun Plays) is a great forward alongside Mbappe. In short we are enthusiastic if clueless France supporters.”

By a strange coincidence, Enthusiastic if Clueless is the name of my twee pop band.

59 min: Dembele hits the post! That’s how to make an impact as a substitute. Dembele cuts infield from the right, chops back outside a couple of defenders and smashes a shot that beats Gulacsi for pace and thumps off the outside of the near post. That was scintillating.

58 min Pavard dangles a leg at Fiola, who declines the opportunity to run into it and appeal for a penalty. That was a risky challenge from Pavard, a reflection of France’s slightly scrambled minds.

10.18am EDT 10:18

57 min Rabiot commits a silly foul on Nikolic. It’s his last contribution: he has been replaced by Ousmane Dembele.

10.13am EDT 10:13

53 min The impressive Sallai buys Hungary a bit of time, protecting the ball and drawing a foul from Kimpembe.

10.12am EDT 10:12

52 min Pogba, who looks sharper since half-time, slips as he takes a long-range shot and it spins a few yards wide. Pogba slaps the ground in frustration.

10.10am EDT 10:10

50 min Griezmann’s corner is flicked on by Pogba and cleared desperately by a couple of Hungarian defenders.

10.09am EDT 10:09

49 min Good play from Pogba, who beats a man on the right hand and smashes a cross towards Benzema that is punched away by the stretching Gulacsi. The rebound is picked up by Digne, whose follow-up cross is blocked.

10.06am EDT 10:06

47 min “Well, well, well,” writes Mary Waltz. “As much as I want Hungary to lose for reasons apart from football (and wisely will not be discussed) that goal does make for a dramatic second half. Hungary will tear and claw at France and hope that France will get so frustrated that they abandon the game that normally overwhelms opponents.”
