Hongrie #Hongrie

FULL TIME STATS

The French registered almost double the possession and passes of Hungary, and had three times as many attempts on goal, but couldn’t get the better of their opponents where it mattered.

KARIM’S WAIT GOES ON

It was another disappointing afternoon for Karim Benzema, who went 76 minutes without scoring before being replaced by Olivier Giroud.

The striker had two attempts during his time on the pitch, forcing Peter Gulacsi into an early save (which Antoine Griezmann should have scored on the follow-up) and then slicing wide after good work from Kylian Mbappe.

Benzema’s European Championship drought now stands at eight appearances and 30 shots.

RELIANT ROBIN

Bristol City midfielder Adam Nagy was absolutely brilliant on his 50th international appearance for Hungary, protecting his defence with a series of timely interventions.

It’s earned much praise from those back in the west country.

FT: HUNGARY 1-1 FRANCE

A brilliant game in a brilliant atmosphere at a brilliant venue. It may be two points dropped for the French, but for Hungary it’s a huge result. With better luck, they may well have had all three following Attila Fiola’s first half goal, but France stuck to their task and equalised through Antoine Griezmann. Both teams remain alive in the group of death.

PEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEP!IT’S ALL OVER IN BUDAPEST!

HUNGARY 1-1 FRANCE

90+5. Varane! Misses!

With the last act of the match, the French defender heads wide of the post from close range.

Lemar stepped an inviting cross up from the left, and as the Real Madrid man rose so too did the thousand of French fans behind that goal.

Time stands still as everybody watches the ball whistle just past the post.

The Hungarian players breathe a huge sigh of relief, and then celebrate when Michael Oliver’s whistle calls time on a thoroughly entertaining clash.
