EURO 2020 Half time: Hungary 1-0 France. Well I never. Hungary lead the world champions through a memorable goal from the left wing-back Attila Fiola. France had most of the ball, most of the chances, and all of that matters not one jot.
That really was an outstanding goal. The defending wasn’t great, from Pavard or Varane, but Fiola’s dynamism deserved that reward. Attila Fiola has sent the Puskas Arena into ecstasy.
Nagy drove a crossfield pass towards Fiola, just inside the France half. He headed it infield towards Sallai, collected the return and hurtled away from Pavard towards the penalty area. Varane was on the wrong side and couldn’t challenge him, so Fiola kept going and then slid the ball past Lloris at the near post. What an outstanding, carpe-diem goal from Fiola. He’s the left wing-back!
France break three on two. Mbappe plays the ball square to Benzema, who tries to flick it with the outside of his right foot to the unmarked Griezmann. It hits the chest of Attila Szalai, whose positioning probably saved a goal.
Pogba, who is wearing boots that look like the top of a Fab lolly, is unhappy after Fiola stands on his foot. Michael Oliver decides it’s not worth a booking. Lets wait for the second half
