Hungary extend their unbeaten run at home to 13 matches, a streak that dates back to September 2022, ahead of the relegation play-off. Despite conceding a late equalizer, Germany head into the knockout stage undefeated in regulation time in 15 matches throughout 2024. Thanks for joining Tribe for this coverage. Until next time, this is Sanil Karan signing off.

Robin Gosens was brought on at halftime and had Germany's first shot on target five minutes later, but Denes Dibusz comfortably saved his effort. At the other end, Szoboszlai’s corner was met by Loic Nego, whose volley was blocked, and Julian Brandt’s disallowed goal followed soon after for offside. As Nagelsmann pushed for a winner, Musiala, Wirtz, and Havertz entered, with Havertz hitting the post and Dardai blocking Leroy Sane’s rebound. Nubel then made a crucial save after a Varga-Sallai combination before Germany took the lead in the 76th minute through Nmecha’s. But late drama followed as Koch conceded a penalty for handball, which Szoboszlai calmly converted with a Panenka to snatch a late draw for Hungary.

Julian Nagelsmann made nine changes to Germany's lineup with top spot already secured, and his team quickly settled into the game despite an early scare from Szoboszlai, who intercepted a pass from Felix Nmecha. Hungary's defense held firm, limiting Germany's chances, with Serge Gnabry firing wide on a rare opportunity. Hungary put pressure on Germany, with Barnabas Varga failing to convert a half-chance from Szoboszlai’s cross, while Andras Schafer forced Alexander Nubel into the first save of the match. Henrichs' free-kick just missed, and Márton Dardai’s timely clearances denied Gnabry, while Nubel remained busy, saving again from Zsolt Nagy as he broke through Germany’s defense.

SZOBOSZLAI RESCUES A POINT FOR HUNGARY! What audacity from Szoboszlai! With nerves of steel, he steps up to take the penalty and opts for a cheeky panenka, delicately chipping it straight down the middle as Nubel dives to his right. The calmness in Szoboszlai’s execution is remarkable, and it’s a stunning way to snatch a late draw for Hungary.

LIFELINE FOR HUNGARY! Kata unleashes a powerful shot from the edge of the box, which strikes the arm of Koch as he blocks the effort. Initially, the referee waves play on, but VAR steps in to review the incident. After checking the monitor, the referee changes his decision and points to the spot, awarding Hungary a penalty.

Wirtz is caught late by Kata, sparking a confrontation between Schafer and Andrich. The two midfielders exchange words and shoves, resulting in both being shown yellow cards for their involvement in the scuffle. Tensions rise as the match reaches its final stages.
