Hungary end 30-year wait with Euro 2016 qualification

Hungary 2 Norway 1 (Hungary win 3-1 on agg): Hungary booked a return to major tournament football for the first time in 30 years with a 3-1 aggregate victory over Norway in their Euro 2016 qualifying play-off last night.

Leading through debutant Laszlo Kleinheisler’s first-leg goal, Tamas Priskin struck early in the first half before Norway’s Markus Henriksen scored at both ends late on in the hosts’ 2-1 win on the night.

Only five of their squad were even born when Hungary played at the 1986 Mexico World Cup and, of those, only veteran goalkeeper Gabor Kiraly was in the starting line-up on this occasion.
