A to a great extent noteworthy presentation was cursed by Gianluca Mancini's 61st-minute own objective which gave the match a scoreline that complimented Hungary, drove by mentor Mancini's previous Sampdoria colleague Marco Rossi.
The European heroes, who are attempting to remake subsequent to neglecting to fit the bill briefly straight World Cup, presently travel to Wolverhampton to confront base side England on Saturday prior to taking on Germany in Moenchengladbach three days after the fact.

From that point the away side pushed for a leveler as the home side noticeably drained, however past two or three speculative endeavors couldn't expand on their initial win over England.
