Hungary v Nigeria
Hungary (0) v Nigeria (0)
Hungary started well against much fancied Nigeria despite conceding an early goal and defended well against the pace of the Nigerians. However after 4:40 of the first half they found themselves trailing 1-4 as Nigeria's confidence grew. But they dug deep and fought there way back into the game and managed to claw it back to 3-4 however they shot themselves in the foot by getting a player blue carded. They got lucky as the penalty was missed however as soon as the 2nd half got underway the Nigerians started to pull away.within 1 minute of the restart they were back 3 goals behind at 3-6. That lead was stretched to 3-8 before Hungary managed to pull one back but I think the outcome was decided by the blue card for the Hungarians - The Nigerian team isn't a team you want to go a man down against and they made them pay.....
