stadium notes: |
This
ends a run of twelve consecutive World Cup victories at the Stadium,
starting back in October 2012.
This
is also Southgate's ninth World Cup match at Wembley, one more than Alf
Ramsey, and now two more than Bobby Robson...his first draw after
eight straight victories. This is the 75th draw across both the
Wembley Stadiums, but the fiftieth conceded at the new stadium.
It is also a record-extending seventeenth captaincy for
Harry Kane at the rebuilt stadium. |
records: |
800th
post-war match.
The 100th draw on home soil.
2100th goal in Europe.
Twelfth match on 12th October, W8 D4. Not conceded before tonight
on this day since 2005.
This is
England's fifth World Cup fixture against Hungary, the first draw.
It is also the first home draw in the eleventh Hungary visit. Unbeaten in 29 World Cup qualification matches, having not lost since
October 2009 (W21 D8). Unbeaten in eighteen matches, best since
September 1988-May 1990. This is England's seventeenth match in
2021, a record equal with the number set in 2018 and 1966. |
Manager Gareth Southgate made his third England appearance against
Hungary as a twelfth minute substitute in May 1996. He withdrew from
the squad when the two countries met each other in April 1999. |

Well, you can't win them all!
That was the overriding feeling after England failed to beat a
stubborn and well drilled Hungarian team at Wembley.
England didn't play badly, but they didn't play well either, and
much credit should go to Hungary for carrying out their game plan almost
to perfection.
Despite picking the team most of us would have
chosen, Gareth Southgate's men could see that right from the start it was
obvious the match would be a stiff test for the home side, something they
haven't often had to contend with during this qualifying period.
Hungary were well organised, aggressive, and dangerous on the
break, and England had to have their wits about them at all times.
A lively opening ten minutes, saw both teams shutting their
opponents down quickly, so there was little goalmouth action forthcoming.
The first chance of note came in the 9th minute when
Jack Grealish, superb throughout, and Luke Shaw, combined on the left to
send in a cross to the far post.
Harry Kane was there but he was just beaten to the ball on the
stretch by a defender.
As the corner was taken, John Stones was rugby
tackled to the floor by his marker and the referee blew his whistle.
But instead of giving a penalty, he warned both players, and
ordered the corner to be retaken.
A weird decision that made me wish we still had the lady referee
that we had in the last game, back in charge!
Declan Rice and Mason Mount were working hard in
midfield but the Hungarians were very aware of Phil Foden's attributes,
and when the Man City player gained possession the defenders swarmed
around him, giving him no space to work his magic.
On 14 minutes the very lively Roland Sallai put in a good effort
which was just off target, following a good break down the right.
A bad pass by Mount then gave the Hungarians another chance but the
defence was quickly back to snuff out the danger.
The first 20 minutes had been nip and tuck, although
Shaw's first time ball into the box was only just intercepted before it
reached Kane. Grealish was
increasingly dangerous and the visitors found him hard to deal with as he
ran at them consistently.
One
shot was easily saved by goalkeeper Peter Galacsi, but Grealish was
definitely England's danger man.
However, on 23 minutes the game changed.
A ball bounced high in the box as Shaw looked to clear.
In the end he fly-kicked it away, but Loic Nego had tried to put
his head to the ball and the referee deemed it dangerous play as Nego
writhed around in apparent agony.
Strange to relate, he was soon up and about again after the penalty
was given.
It was checked by VAR
but this ref had given England nothing up to this point, so the decision
stayed.
Sallai sent Jordan
Pickford the wrong way to emphatically score from the spot.
England had to now regroup, as this was an unusual
situation, being a goal down at Wembley, it hadn't happened for a while.
Another decision went Hungary's way when Kane was clattered from
behind in the box.
You've seen
them given!
But Hungary were
now looking confident, boosted by the goal, and England had a game on
their hands.
Zsolt Nagy then
clattered Grealish and their were ironic cheers as the referee gave
England a free-kick.
Hungary
cleared that and they were not about to surrender this lead easily.
On 35 minutes it was noticeable that England had
stepped it up a bit, and two minutes later they scored an equaliser.
This time a free-kick would be well used.
Foden whipped in a cross, with the ball touching a couple of heads
on the way to the far post where John Stones was there to crash it home.
Five minutes later Grealish looked in with a great chance, but
delayed his shot allowing the defenders to scramble the ball clear.
Before the break, Grealish again went close after controlling a
great pass by Kyle Walker, and then right on the whistle, Raheem Sterling
was on the end of Shaw's cross to the far post.
His first header was parried by a sprawling Galacsi, and Sterling's
rebound effort was shot wide.
England began the second-half with some careless
passing that gave Hungary the chance to push forward.
Shaw was not his usual self, although that could be said of several
of the England players.
Sallai
put in another good effort that was deflected for a corner, and despite
some promising attacks by the visitors, Pickford had yet to be called
upon.
Hungary's strength was
in their organisation, workrate, and general appetite for the game.
Foden then sent Sterling away and his cross was only
just scrambled away.
Kane had
a shot easily saved after more good play by Grealish, Sterling won a
corner, from which Stones headed inches wide.
Then came a moment that puzzled every England fan as Southgate's
first substitution was to take off Grealish and bring on Bukayo Saka.
No problem with Saka coming on, but to take off your best attacker
was a mystery, especially as Sterling and Kane were both having 'one of
those nights!'
A forlorn looking
Grealish, sat in the stand, looked as perplexed as everyone else by that
strange decision.
On 70 minutes all would have been forgiven as Kane
put Sterling through on goal.
A super sharp Sterling would have buried that chance but Galacsi was out
quickly to save.
Not long
after Kane sliced another chance over, both he and Sterling were taken
off, with Tammy Abraham and Jordan Henderson coming on.
England's play became scrappy as the game reached its climax.
Poor play by both Saka and Henderson, gave possession away cheaply,
and a half-hearted attempt by Abraham to reach Mount's cross was about all
England could muster.
Abraham
did have another chance but he didn't look too sharp.
In fact he had to be substituted himself for an injury near the
end, with Olli Watkins coming on.
In the end it was all to no avail.
England, on the night, were
out-thought, out-fought and outrun.
Having said all that, they didn't lose, so no real damage done.
The ball is still very much in their court.
