PHOTOS, VIDEO: The Hungarian national team could not secure a place at the EC in Lithuania
The Hungarian football team, coming from a two-goal deficit, managed to secure a 2-2 draw with Lithuania in a European Championship qualifying match in Kaunas. Although they maintained their position at the top of their group, they failed to secure their spot in the tournament.
Fedor Cernych and Pijus Sirvys gave the home side a two-goal advantage against the Hungarian team that performed poorly in comparison. However, after the break, the situation reversed as Marco Rossi’s team took control. Dominik Szoboszlai scored in the 11th minute and later equalised in the 82nd minute with BarnabĂ¡s Varga’s 20th goal of the season, as reported by Nemzeti Sport.
Hungary‘s lead over Serbia, who have one additional game to play, narrowed to just one point, but they still maintained a six-point lead over Montenegro, which currently occupies the third position.
Hungary only needs one point to secure their place in the remaining two matches. The national team is set to face winless Bulgaria on 16th November.
