Hungary marked their return to the European stage with a shock 2-0 win over 10-man Austria in their Euro 2016 Group F showdown at Stade de Bordeaux on Tuesday.

Match Summary

Second-half goals from Adam Szalai and Zoltan Stieber condemned the Austrians to defeat against their arch-rivals. Hungary were playing at their first major tournament in 30 years.

Austria had Aleksandar Dragovic sent off following a second bookable offence after 64 minutes.

Full Report

The Austrians fired the first warning shot in the opening minute of the game when David Alaba won the ball back in the middle of the park and let fly a left-footed effort that cannoned off the upright.

In the 41st minute Marcel Koller’s men came close again when Marko Arnautovic’s square pass across the 18-yard area was met by the onrushing Martin Harnik, who scuffed his shot wide.

Two minutes later, Hungary had their best chance of the game when a slick pass from Laszlo Kleinheisler sent Balazs Dzsudzsak through on goal but the captain dragged his shot wide.

Ten minutes after the restart Dzsudzsak came close again for the Mighty Magyars after his rasping long-range shot was well kept out by Robert Almer.

The Hungarians took the lead just after the hour mark and against the run of play when brilliant interplay between Kleinheisler and Szalai allowed the latter to slide the ball home and score his ninth international goal.

In the 64th minute Koller’s team were reduced to 10 men when Dragovic’s late challenge resulted in a second yellow and a subsequent red.

Austria went in search of the equaliser but left themselves open to the counter and in the last minute of the game Hungary made them pay when substitute Stieber delightfully chipped Almer in the Austrian goal to record a historic victory for his country.
