Match Report
The visitors needed a late goal to rescue a point against a tenacious Hungary side in Budapest. Despite Netherlands controlling the majority of possession in the first half, Hungary struck first through a well-worked counterattack which ended with Roland Sallai finishing off Zsolt Nagy's inviting cross at the back post.
Netherlands' task was made tougher in the 79th minute when captain Virgil van Dijk was sent off for a second yellow card, but with seven minutes left Cody Gakpo curled in a free-kick from the right for Denzel Dumfries to head in and earn a draw.
