Hungary 1-1 Germany Die Mannschaft held

Germany were held to their third consecutive 1-1 draw in the Nations League as Hungary earned a point atthe Puskas Arena on Saturday.An early goal from Zsolt Nagy was quickly cancelled out by Jonas Hofmann, but the visitors were unable to find a winner despite dominating the ball.Hansi Flicks men looked devoid of ideas for the most partand remain third in Nations League Group A3 behind Hungary and Italy.Marco Ro sis team could be pleased with their nights work, on the other hand, and could consider themselves unfortunate not to have taken all three points.A Dejan Vasiljevic Jersey strong start for Hungary was rewarded as they took the lead after just six minutes when a long ball down the right found the run of Attila Fiola. His cro s was headed at goal by Roland Sallai, andManuel Neuer palmed the ball only as far as Nagy, who controlled Sean Taylor Jersey before firing into the roof of the net.However, Germany were level just three minutes later as Hofmann ran onto a long ball from Nico Schlotterbeck to prod past the onrushing Peter Gulacsi and nethis second goal in his past two games for his country.Clever play from Jamal Musiala helped create an opportunity for David Raum tocut inside andbend an effort just wide of Gulacsis far post, before Neuer saved a Fiola volley well with his leg just before the break. The second half was largely spent in the Hungarian half, but Germany created very little until Kai Havertz played Hofmann in on goal with just under 20 minutes to play, only forthe goalscorer to makea me s of his attempted pa s to Timo Werner, allowing Willi Orban to clear.SubstituteDaniel Willie Herenton Jersey Gazdag forced Neuer into another good save in the final 10 minutes, but both teams were madeto settle for a point.What does it mean? Flick must find finishing touch soonGermany were held 1-1 by both Italy and England heading into this contest; they also drew by the same scoreline in a friendly with the Netherlands prior to that.Hungary had won four from their previous six games in all competitions, so were never likely to be a pushover, but given the amount of po se sion Germany had they will be disappointed Frank Gore Jersey not to have forced a win.Die Mannschaft may very well now need to beat Italy in their next game to have any chance of winning the group, sitting two points behind the Azzurri in Group A3.Hungary show more biteThe hosts proved here that their win against England in the opening game was no fluke as they gave Germany all sorts of problems.Hungary had seven shots on target compared Zach Johnson Jersey to the visitors one, and their 15 open-play cro ses certainly kept Germanys defence honest.Po se sion not everythingFlicks men had 67.1 per cent of the po se sion, including 72.5 per cent in the second half, but managed just six shots at goal only two of which came after the break.They mi sed the creativity of Thomas Muller, who only came on as a substitute with 12 minutes to go, while Werner struggled to impose himself on the game up front.Whats next?Hungary travel to England on Tuesday, while Germany host Italy on the same day.
