Group F
Hungary goals: Lukacs (56), Gruber (90+4)
Hungary overcame the suspensions of attacking duo Roland Sallai and Barnabas Varga to secure their first victory of the qualifying campaign. The home side dominated the opening period but could not find the breakthrough. Forward Daniel Lukacs was twice denied by the expert reactions of Armenia goalkeeper Henri Avagyan, while captain Dominik Szoboszlai struck just wide of the post in the 38th minute after a dangerous cross from Alex Toth. The Magyars finally took their opportunity in the 56th minute, when Lukacs broke the offside trap after a through-ball from Bendeguz Bolla and slotted the ball past Avagyan. Deep into injury time, Hungary substitute Zsombor Gruber sealed victory with a fine finish into the bottom corner.
