Hungary took the lead after 32 minutes when Tijjani Reijnders lost the ball in midfield. Zsolt Nagy delivered a cross to the back post, where Roland Sallai volleyed it into the net. Sallai, who had been carrying an injury before the match, proved his doubters wrong with the stunning goal.

The Dutch created numerous chances, but looked to be heading for a frustrating defeat, made worse when Van Dijk received two yellow cards in the space of three minutes, before Dumfries headed in Cody Gakpo’s free-kick to equalise.

Germany lead the Group 3 table at the halfway mark with seven points from their three games, followed by the Netherlands on five. Hungary (two points) and Bosnia & Herzegovina (one) are dropping out of contention for top spot.
