Bellingham! The ball lands in the Dortmunder’s back room via detours. From 18 meters he fires at the box, but Szalai still puts his body in between. Gulácsi can then grab it.
72
19:32
Maguire reaches Bowen in the right box with a long diagonal pass. Bowen takes the leather straight and shoots right into Gulácsi’s arms.
72
19:31
With Roland Sallai one of the most conspicuous players of the home team leaves the field. László Kleinheisler is new to the game.

19:29
After a weak 70 minutes, the English have to step up their game to avoid their first defeat against Hungary since 1962.
66
19:25
Tooor for Hungary, 1-0 through Dominik Szoboszlai
Szoboszlai converts confidently and puts his team in front! The attacker from RB Leipzig certainly transforms the bottom left. Pickford is in the right corner, but the shot is too well placed.
64
19:24
Penalty for Hungary! And luck for Hungary at the same time. Because the whistle against the Three Lions is extremely hard. However, a minimal hold by Reece James against Zsolt Nagy is enough for him to point to the point.
63
19:23
Southgate is now active three times and changes vigorously. Blessed is he who can substitute such names.
62
19:22
Jack Grealish comes on as a substitute for England

Substitution for England: Mason Mount

59
19:19
The Chelsea player takes care of the matter himself. The ball comes well from the left to the penalty spot, but is cleared. Bowen grabs the second ball, whose attempt flies well over the box.
58
19:18
Zsolt Nagy marches into the sixteen but then gets stuck on Conor Coady. Otherwise it would have been very dangerous for the English. In the counterattack, Mason Mount takes out a corner kick.
55
19:16
Négo simply takes a shot from 25 meters and Maguire blocks the ball with his arm. On closer inspection, however, it becomes apparent that this is not to be considered a punishable offence. The referee does everything right and lets play continue.
54
19:14
As in the minutes before the break, the game is a bit bogged down. In fact, however, it is the home side who seem more active at the moment.
51
19:11
Yellow card for Conor Coady (England)
Conor Coady clears Ádám Szalai in midfield. He gets a warning for that.
51
19:11
The Three Lions now with a single promotion! Bukayo Saka dances his way down the left side of the box and finishes flat from an acute angle. Péter Gulácsi can save with his foot.
49
19:10
Roland Sallai receives a high diagonal ball on the left in the sixteen and lays it backwards for Zsolt Nagy. This forces the low shot into the right corner – just past the box.
46
19:06
Gareth Southgate makes one change at half-time. James Justin, perhaps also due to his hamstring problems in the first round, makes way for Bukayo Saka.

Bukayo Saka comes on as a substitute for England

Kick-off 2nd half
45
18:52
Mid-term conclusion:
Break in Budapest! Hungary and England are 0-0 after 45 minutes. After a lively initial phase by the Three Lions, the hosts also became dangerous once or twice. From then on they managed to keep the tempo as low as possible, which can definitely be seen as a success. The guests then presented themselves unimaginative over long stretches, so that the intermediate result so far is performance-based. We’re hoping for goals in the second half. See you soon!
45
18:48
Official stoppage time (minutes): 1
44
18:47
This is mainly due to the fact that no team has any ambitions to cause danger again before the half-time whistle. The hosts in particular are currently pushing the ball leisurely back and forth in their own possession.
41
18:44
Can a team think of anything else before the break? At the moment everything looks like a 0-0 at half-time.
38
18:42
Next corner from Trent Alexander-Arnold, the next to go out of goal without touching it. There is definitely still room for improvement.
37
18:40
Loïc Négo seeks out Dominik Szoboszlai with a cross from the right at the far post. But both Kyle Walker and the Hungarian sail wide of the cross.
35
18:39
The Three Lions haven’t had a dangerous finish for a long time now. Nevertheless, they have the game well under control thanks to a lot of ball possession.
32
18:36
You can try it! Ádám Szalai bounces a recovered ball in the center circle, sees that the England goalkeeper is well in front of the goal and doesn’t hesitate. He tries it from almost 50 meters and just misses the left post.
30
18:34
Zsolt Nagy tests Jordan Pickford from 20 meters half left position. Although the ball is not really placed on goal, the goalkeeper plays it safe and punches the ball to the side.
29
18:32
For the time being the debutant is back on the pitch and making a good impression.
27
18:29
James Justin grabs his thigh after a sprint without outside influence and is now treated on the edge. Let’s see if and how it goes for him.
25
18:29
He tries the short variant to the penalty area to the oncoming Ádám Szalai. Surrounded by two opponents, however, he cannot control the ball and loses the ball.
24
18:28
Now the Hungarians are allowed to take a corner kick for the first time. Szoboszlai enters from the right…
21
18:24
Yellow card for András Schäfer (Hungary)
Schäfer stops Justin and brings him down when trying to get into the penalty area. The referee pulls out the yellow card.
18
18:21
The execution takes over again Trent Alexander-Arnold. The leather comes dangerously into the five, but still flies past friend and foe out of bounds.
17
18:20
On the other hand, Bowen provides relief again, but is on his own in the last third. After all, he pulls out a corner against Lang.
15
18:19
The hosts seem to have woken up a bit with the big chance. They want to continue to put the guests under pressure by moving sideways quickly. And in fact, the English don’t seem to be very confident in dealing with it.
12
18:15
Hungary has the best chance of the game so far! A fast, direct counterattack poses a lot of problems for the Three Lions. On the right, Loïc Négo is sent on a journey. At the edge of the penalty area, he fits flat into the run into the box to Dominik Szoboszlai, who wants to tip the ball past Jordan Pickford, who is rushing out. The keeper touches the ball, slowing it down, allowing Conor Coady to clear the ball off the line.
11
18:15
Now Alexander-Arnold Bowen finds a half-high cross from the right in the six-yard box. The young attacker tries a side kick but misses the ball and Gulácsi has no trouble.
9
18:13
England belongs to the early stages! Again it goes purposefully to the top. Half left Harry drops Kane onto Jarrod Bowen who immediately pulls away. Attila Szalai blocks the attempt self-sacrificingly.
7
18:11
Again Justin is sought with a high, long ball on the left wing. Négo keeps his head in the pass at the last second and the Three Lions get the first corner. However, Alexander-Arnold’s cross ends up in goal on the other side.
4
18:08
Kane heard the first conclusion of the score! The Englishman is reached on the left in the sixteen via two stations. He goes into a direct duel with his opponent, swerves inwards and aims for the long corner. The ball sails a meter past the post.
2
18:06
Maguire hits a first high ball at Justin. The pass and the run are not well coordinated – offside.
1
18:04
The first half has started! Hungary in the red shirts toast. As usual, England will wear white jerseys and have two debutants in the first eleven in James Justin and Jarrod Bowen.
18:03
A minute’s silence will be observed in the stadium before the game begins. This is in memory of István Szőke, a former Hungarian international who recently passed away.
17:06
The runner-up European champion, on the other hand, continued to present himself in good form in front of his home crowd as a result of the disappointing final defeat last year and will also be involved in the fight for the title in Qatar. At the end of the World Cup qualification, only three goals were conceded, while the Three Lions scored an average of 3.9 goals on offense. England are therefore the clear favorites going into the match today and will try not to lose anything away from home.
17:06
The Hungarian national football team and the guests already know each other from last year’s World Cup qualification. There, the English were able to win 4-0 away, the second leg surprisingly ended 1-1. Overall, however, the home side’s qualification was disappointing again: Hungary will not take part in the World Cup at the end of the year. And in the Nations League, too, the host is considered an outsider in the strong group A3.
17:06
While the DFB-Elf takes on Italy tonight, the game is now that of the other two group opponents of the German team. Hansi Flick and his boys will meet both England and Hungary in the coming days. It will also be exciting to see if the Three Lions will come out on top in the expected three-way battle for first place in the group.
16:59
Hello and a warm welcome to the match between Hungary and England in Nations League Group A3! The ball will roll across the pitch of the Puskás Aréna in Budapest from 6:00 p.m. German time.
