Hungary qualified for the Euro 2020 finals with a thrilling 2-1 comeback win over Iceland thanks to a last-gasp equaliser from Loic Nego and a stoppage-time winner by Dominik Szoboszlai. Hungary will join Portugal, France and Germany in Group F at next year's tournament, with the first and third of those games to be played in the Puskas Arena in Budapest.
Iceland went ahead when goalkeeper Peter Gulacsi fumbled a Gylfi Sigurdsson free kick into his own net in the 11th minute, prompting a match-long onslaught form the home side. It paid off when substitute Nego was quickest to a ball that pinged between defenders in the area, slotting home to equalise two minutes from the end of normal time and Szoboszlai struck in the second minute of added time to seal a stunning win.
