Portugal vs Hungary Result: A Tale of Two Halves
Hungary delivered the first shock of the evening when defender Attila Szalai scored just 8 minutes into the match. However, Portugal’s captain, Cristiano Ronaldo, responded with an equalizer in the 22nd minute. He wasn’t done, as he fired his team ahead with a second goal in first-half stoppage time (45’+3), seemingly putting Portugal on course for victory.
The Hungarians, however, refused to give up. As the clock ticked down, team captain Dominik Szoboszlai became the hero, scoring a stunning equalizer in the 90’+1 minute to snatch a crucial point for his team on the road.
The draw keeps Portugal at the top of Group F with 10 points, while Hungary remains in second place with 5 points, keeping their qualification hopes alive.
