Hungary's men's national football team lost 1–0 to Ukraine at the Puskás Aréna on 25 September. Danylo Sikan scored the only goal late in the first half.

More possession, too little accuracy

According to the official MLSZ report, Hungary had 57 per cent possession and led the shot count 17–10, but only four efforts were on target. Dániel Lukács also hit the post, yet no equaliser arrived in front of 56,799 spectators.

Hungary's next task is against Northern Ireland in Belfast on Monday. Read the BSR match preview.
