Hungary 1 England 0 LIVE REACTION: Tamed Three Lions suffer humiliating first defeat to Hungarians in 60 years – updates
Sponsored by
ENGLAND threw away a sixty year record as they were disappointingly beaten by Hungary for the first time since 1962.
Reece James was harshly penalised for a soft touch on Zsolt Nagy in the penalty area within minutes of entering the frame.
And Hungarian talisman Dominik Szoboszlai welcomed the gift with open arms when he rifled his spot-kick into the bottom corner of Jordan Pickford's net.
But it's admittedly nothing less than England deserve having displayed a poor showing which will be a worry for Gareth Southgate as they have tougher opposition to come.
- RESULT: Hungary 1-0 England

- Hungary XI: Gulacsi; Lang, Orban, Szalai; Nego, Schafer, A.Nagy, Z.Nagy; Sallai, Szoboszlai
