“Otar Kiteishvili is booked for a foul, setting up the sequence of events that led directly to Hungary's goal two minutes later.”
“Milos Kerkez rises highest to head home Dániel Lukács' cross from the center of the box, giving Hungary the lead.”
Pivotal“Georgia make a double substitution, bringing on Giorgi Kvernadze and Budu Zivzivadze in a bid to find more attacking threat after a toothless first hour.”
“Milán Vitális is booked for time wasting as Hungary look to see out the closing stages and protect their narrow lead.”

Outstanding performance
Hungary•MidfielderHungary rode a single moment of quality to victory, with Milos Kerkez heading home Dániel Lukács' cross in the 35th minute after Georgia failed to clear a dangerous free-kick situation. Despite Georgia dominating possession at 58% and completing far more passes, Hungary were the more incisive side, racking up 26 shots to Georgia's 8 and creating five big chances compared to just one for the visitors. The match became stretched after the break as both managers made wholesale changes, with Georgia bringing on Kochorashvili, Mekvabishvili, Kvernadze, Zivzivadze and Davitashvili in search of an equalizer, but Hungary's defense held firm. For Hungary this result offers a rare bright spot given their struggles this season, while Georgia will be frustrated at wasting their territorial advantage and failing to convert control into chances on goal.
