Match Events
- 0' KICK OFF: France gets underway.
- 5' Hungary international Willi Orban has been a key figure this campaign — 2 goals and 0 assists in the Array this season.
- 10' Poor challenge from Benjamin Pavard. The referee spots it immediately and shows the Yellow card.
- 15' Ousmane Dembele has been relatively quiet despite scoring 85 goals in his last 525 appearances.
- 20' It is a cagey affair so far. Hungary in their trying to find a way past France's compact .
- 25' We miss some good tackles and strikes. Is there anyone on the field to put the game back to action?
- 26' The supporters are chanting for Nemanja Nikolics. He replaces Adam Szalai on 26 minute.
- 31' Neither side is committing men forward. This has all the hallmarks of a tense, tactical contest.
- 36' A quiet spell here at Puskas Arena. France seem content sitting deep and soaking up pressure.
- 41' The referee is likely to let players tackle, as he already missed some meaty challenges during opening seconds. He is still to establish what should not be done by the players and what is acceptable on the pitch. It’s going to be a tough game for Adam Nagy suffering a number of foals already.
- 46' Kylian Mbappe has been one of the livelier players on the pitch with 23 goals to his name this season.
- 47' Attila Fiola adds to his 0 season tally! Hungary lead 1-0 — and this changes everything.
- 52' A moment of madness from Endre Botka on 52 minutes earns him a Yellow card. Hungary will be frustrated.
- 57' Ousmane Dembele gets the nod from France. He replaces Adrien Rabiot and will look to change the dynamic.
- 62' The teams are not in a rush to score plenty of goals. It might look strange considering France that had 178 games and scored 94 goals.
- 66' GOAL! Antoine Griezmann scores on 66.
- 71' The referee has had an easy afternoon — neither side has been overly physical in the tackle.
- 75' The Hungary bench stirs into life. Andras Schafer is withdrawn and Tamas Cseri gets his opportunity.
- 76' Fresh legs for France! Corentin Tolisso comes on to replace Paul Pogba.
- 81' It’s high time Didier Deschamps made some changes to put the his team’s game back to action.
- 84' Another change for Hungary made on 84 minute. Laszlo Kleinheisler leaves to be changed by Gergo Lovrencsics.
- 87' Fresh legs for France! Thomas Lemar comes on to replace Ousmane Dembele.
- The final whistle. It looks like we are having a draw.
