Jack Grealish came in as Gareth Southgate made one change to the England side that lost the Euro 2020 final as they resumed action in Hungary.
The Chelsea forward produced a low cross for Sterling, who made no mistake from 10 yards before being showered with plastic cups by the home fans as he celebrated his 16th goal in his last 24 appearances for his country. Rice, who had been booked moments earlier, produced a perfectly timed tackle to win the ball before Grealish released the overlapping Mount. However, it wasn't long before a more urgent England made the breakthrough.
That quickly changed early in the second half as Kyle Walker's pass released Kane in behind the Hungary defence, but an uncharacteristically scuffed finish was kept out by goalkeeper Peter Gulacsi. Subs: Lingard (n/a), Saka (n/a), Henderson (n/a). Hungary: Gulacsi (4), Kecskes (6), Orban (5), A Szalai (6), Bolla (5), Schafer (6), Kleinheisler (6), Fiola (6), Szoboszlai (5), A Szalai (6), Sallai (5). It was a hostile away atmosphere - something England had not experienced since before the pandemic - but the visitors started on the front foot with Mason Mount firing wide from distance before Maguire headed over from a Luke Shaw corner.Ī threatening Kane cross took a wicked deflection off Mount and headed towards goal before Akos Kecskes hooked clear as England did a good job of silencing the crowd. But a full-capacity crowd of more than 60,000 was present at the Puskas Arena for Thursday's match against England as the game is being played under FIFA jurisdiction Hungary have been ordered to play their next three UEFA competition matches behind closed doors - with one of those games suspended for two years - following racist abuse from supporters and homophobic banners in the stands during their Euro 2020 group stage matches in Budapest.Ī homophobic banner was seen in the stands during Hungary's defeat to Portugal in their opening game at the tournament, while monkey chants were also heard during their draw with France.
