Outstanding performance
Hungary•DefenderUkraine dominated the underlying numbers, out-shooting Hungary 17-10 and controlling 52% of possession with 61 dangerous attacks to Hungary's 28, but wastefulness in front of goal and a sharper Hungarian cutting edge proved decisive. Milán Tóth's 52nd-minute strike, created by Milán Vitális after a string of set-piece chances, gave the visitors the lead they'd protect for over half an hour. Ukraine's response was spirited rather than sustained - five substitutions between the 60th and 72nd minute injected fresh legs, and Roman Yaremchuk's close-range header from a Pikhalionok cross looked to have salvaged a point just seven minutes from time. But Hungary had the final word almost immediately, with substitute Rajmund Tóth's cross finding Márk Csinger for the winner inside two minutes of the equalizer. For Ukraine, it's a frustrating result given their territorial dominance and 17 shots to show for it; Hungary, by contrast, showed the clinical edge of a side punching above its underlying stats with just 10 shots and four on target.
