The National Football Team met the Dalai Lama and defeated Latvia
Change language:
The members of the Hungarian national football team got the chance to meet the Dalai Lama before their World Cup qualification match against Latvia. Mno.hu writes that the Dalai Lama also happened to be in Riga, and the Hungarian team gifted him with a national jersey.
The Buddhist leader could give them some spiritual power, which the Hungarian team needed very much. This was our third and key match in the qualification round, because the boys tied against Faroe Islands and lost against Switzerland.

Who knows if it was this spiritual power or something else that boosted the Hungarian team so much that they defeated Latvia by 2:0. It was the day and match of the Ádám-s, as the two goals were scored by Ádám Gyurcsó (’10) and Ádám Szalai (’77).

Even though the Latvians also had their chances to score a goal, the Hungarian national team seemed to be much more assertive and fulfilled the hopes of many fans. Now that the team had their first win, this hopefully exhilarated them so they will be able to play similarly against Andorra on the 13th of November.
