Hungary failed to score in front of more than 56,000 spectators on Friday night and must play again in Belfast on Monday. Marco Rossi’s team continue their UEFA Nations League B, Group 2 campaign against Northern Ireland at Windsor Park on 28 September at 20:45 Budapest time.

Both teams arrive from one-goal games

Hungary lost 1–0 to Ukraine after Danylo Sikan scored in the 42nd minute. Northern Ireland won 1–0 away to Georgia and therefore enter the second round with three points.

Both the official UEFA schedule and the MLSZ calendar list the match for 28 September. Hungary have two days to improve the finishing seen in Budapest and correct the defensive lapse late in the first half. More national-team coverage is available in BSR’s football archive.
