Hungary just need 1 point @ Bulgaria or vs Montenegro to clinch direct qualification so this wasn’t a total disaster, but makes those other matches look more tricky than they should.
In years past Hungary would’ve left this match with a loss, but they still need to do better to get to a place where this match is a guaranteed win.
Lithuania played on another level today, definitely deserve to stay in League C of Nations League if they can win their relegation playoff vs Belarus.
Gotta give props to Lithuania. As much as I was hoping for a winner, this is a fair result.
On a sidenote, I don’t know how Styles plays in the third division of England, I think he would be good enough for the second tier or in a weaker first tier team in a bit weaker league
I think they failed to secure a transfer for him. He wanted to leave, but couldn’t. Don’t know the full story tho.
When you’re used to losing 8 out of 10 games… An international break of 2 games equaling 4 points feels like heaven. As a Lithuanian I’ll take it.
Props to your team. They were really good for about 70 minutes. Seems you run out of energy after that. But this is a solid team
Felt like a joy to watch this game.
We have to forget the 1st half. 2nd half wasn’t bad.
The pitch was awful, it had a big impact on the game.
Our build up play is pretty bad without Orbán and Shafer. Styles makes it a little better bit still not the same.
Styles or Szoboszlai the man of the match for me.
Sallai should pass more. Shooting from tight angle barely works. Nego passed from the same situation against Serbia, and it worked pretty well.
Szalai was the worst player on the field by far. He plays like a Vasas player at the moment. No wonder he doesn’t start for Hoffeinheim.
