Ukraine vs Hungary finished 1-2 in the UEFA Liga das Nações after a goalless first half and a second half that turned on two late goals. Hungary led, were pulled back, and then struck again to take the match.

Match Summary

The first half produced no goals. Ukraine were the first team cautioned, Yegor Nazaryna receiving a yellow card after 20 minutes, and that booking was the main verified incident before the interval. Both sides went in at 0-0, with the scoring still to come.

Hungary opened the scoring after the restart. Milan Toth had the visitors in front in the 52nd minute. Dániel Lukács was shown a yellow card three minutes later, but the away lead held as the half wore on. Rajmund Tóth was booked in the 78th minute, still with Hungary a goal to the good.

Ukraine equalized in the 83rd minute. The scorer was not listed in match data. Hungary needed little time to answer. Mark Csinger scored in the 85th minute to restore the away lead. Ukraine did not find another goal, and the official result was 1-2.

Key Moments

Keeping a clean sheet through 45 minutes left the first goal as the night's biggest lever. When Hungary scored it after half-time, Ukraine had to chase from behind rather than play for a draw.

The equalizer with seven minutes remaining looked like a point earned. It did not last. Hungary's reply two minutes later ended that hope before the home side could settle, and that short window decided the result.

Ukraine's attacking numbers never matched the scoreboard. They took more shots and posted the higher expected goals figure, yet they managed only two shots on target. That gap, more than any single booking, explains why a late equalizer was not enough.

Match Statistics

Ukraine outshot Hungary 16 to 10 and recorded 1.5 expected goals against 1.28, with corners 5-4 in the home side's favor. The on-target count ran the other way. Hungary put four shots on target to Ukraine's two. Yellow cards were 1-2, one for Ukraine and two for Hungary. Neither team received a red card.
