5) Hungary tried their best but were luckless upfront
Trending
From Hungary’s point of view, the full-time score of 4-0 was harsh on an evidently competitive display in Toulouse. They kept their heads up despite conceding that early goal (which could easily have been avoided but for some poor marking) and committed bodies forward to test the Belgian defence.
Adam Szalai was constantly denied by some excellent keeping by Thibaut Courtois, while winger Gergo Lovrencsics was a busy figure trying to break down a stubborn Belgian defence with his trickery on the ball. They were finally dumped out of the contest after 80 minutes thanks to some individual brilliance from Eden Hazard.
They must get some credit for daring to have a go at Belgium’s goal and attempting to make a comeback into the game. In the end, it was a heavy but proud defeat.
