Match Events
- 0' And we are off! Hungary vs Portugal — let the football do the talking.
- 5' Ruben Dias is a natural and has been asked to do a very specific job for Portugal tonight.
- 10' A moment of individual brilliance could settle this. Both teams are waiting for that decisive action.
- 15' Bruno Fernandes needs to be pretty careful with his discipline considering 0 Yellow cards this season.
- 20' Neither side is committing men forward. This has all the hallmarks of a tense, tactical contest.
- 25' 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 Roland Varga suffering a number of foals already.
- 30' has dominated the recent head-to-head record, winning 0 of the last 0 meetings.
- 35' The tempo has dropped considerably in the last few minutes. Marco Rossi will be considering his options from the bench.
- 38' The referee has no hesitation. Ruben Dias is booked for Portugal — Yellow card on 38.
- 43' A tactical chess match is unfolding here. The question is which manager blinks first.
- 48' Portugal international Joao Moutinho has been a key figure this campaign — 0 goals and 0 assists in the Array this season.
- 53' Spectators do not have much to choose from both teams. The sides had several scoring chances but they still need a bit more than just a sight of a goal.
- 58' Kevin Varga is putting in a real shift tonight. He has covered more ground than anyone else for Hungary so far.
- 63' Portugal is showing some good football. However, Portugal are ready to play back every minute. It might result in some problems for the home side. The game will hardly remain goalless.
- 65' Loic Nego is replacing Andras Schafer for the Hungary side.
- 70' Spectators are craving for more action. Both teams play very cautiously. They need to put some more energy.
- 71' A tactical swap from Portugal — Rafa Silva on, Bernardo Silva off on 71 minutes.
- 76' will be watching from the dugout nervously. His Hungary side need to improve if they are to claim all three points.
- 77' Hungary make a change. Roland Sallai trudges off to be replaced by Szabolcs Schon on 77 minutes.
- 78' A change in the Hungary ranks — Laszlo Kleinheisler exits the field as David Siger enters on 78.
- 80' The referee shows Hungary player a Yellow card on 80.
- 81' The whistle greets William Carvalho as he departs to be replaced by Renato Sanches.
- 84' Raphael Guerreiro has been a constant threat and now delivers with a goal on 84 minutes.
- 86' The referee does not hesitate — a Yellow card for Willi Orban on 86 minutes.
- 87' A stunning finish from Cristiano Ronaldo — that came from absolutely nowhere!
- 88' Fresh legs for Hungary! Kevin Varga comes on to replace Attila Fiola.
- 89' The whistle greets Attila Fiola as he departs to be replaced by Kevin Varga.
- 90' Time for substitution for Hungary. Adam Nagy is replaced by Roland Varga.
- Hungary will have plenty to reflect on. Portugal were simply the better side today.
