  Adam Nagy: 7 - The Bristol City midfielder put in a good shift for his side, with the passing from the back his main contribution. AFP

  Loic Nego: 6 - The wing-back played well for the majority of the game, though could and should have dealt with the long ball for France’s equaliser. EPA

• 

  Laszlo Kleinheisler: 8 - Nicknamed the “Hungarian Scholes” by his fans, the midfielder put in a very good performance. He covered a lot of ground, making important interceptions and driving his team forward. AFP

• 

  Andras Schafer: 7 - The midfielder offered a lot defensively, keeping his shape well and helping cover the left side. EPA

  Attila Fiola: 7 - Put his name into history books with a goal in first-half stoppage time, putting his side in the lead with a fantastic run and finish. Reuters

  Roland Sallai: 7 - The striker provided a good outlet for his side when they were under immense pressure. He grabbed an assist with a flick for Fiola’s opener. AFP

• 

  SUBS: Nemanja Nikolic (For Adam Szalai 26’): 6 - Nikolic had big shoes to fill, coming on for his captain. He offered an out ball when Hungary got out from defending but also came back to join the defending phase. AFP

•

  N’Golo Kante: 6 - Operated between both boxes well, bringing the ball out from the back and playing neat passes to help his side keep the ball moving. EPA

• 

  Thomas Lemar (For Dembele 87’): N/R - Came on to replace the injured Dembele but had little time to do anything. Reuters

France's encouraging start to Euro 2020 was checked by unfancied Hungary on Saturday as the world champions were held to a 1-1 draw, much to the delight of most of thee 65,000 fans inside the packed Puskas Arena in Budapest.

After opening with a 1-0 win over Germany in their first Group F match, France were expected to waltz past a Hungary side defeated 3-0 by Portugal last time out.

Despite dominating possession and carving out a handful of chances to take the lead in the first half, France found themselves trailing at the break when Attila Fiola combined with Roland Sallai before the wing-back raced through on goal to beat goalkeeper Hugo Lloris with a low shot at the near post.

France got their deserved equaliser in the 66th minute when Kylian Mbappe stole in behind the defence to latch on to a bouncing long ball from Lloris and though his cross was only half cleared, Griezmann was on hand to find the back of the net.

Les Bleus poured forward in search of the winner and all three points, but a compact and organised Hungary denied the world champions and held out for a famous draw.
