Well, well, well. Hungary have been on top but they haven't made their pressure count. Iceland are in dreamland.

Iceland
GOAAALLLL! Iceland 1-0 Hungary. The minnows Iceland have the lead! Gylfi Sigurdsson sends the Hungary goalkeeper the wrong way.

PENALTY TO ICELAND! Kiraly drops the corner delivery and then brings down Gunnarsson. The referee has no choice other than to point to the spot.
36'
Iceland
Hungary give the ball away cheaply and the ball finds its way through to Sigthorsson whose shot is blocked by a last-ditch tackle from Guzmics. Iceland have a corner.
35'
Iceland
Iceland venture forward with full-back Skulason finding space on the channel but his cross is poor and it's sent out for a goal-kick. Still 0-0.
34'
Hungary
Still no way through for Hungary but they have played by far the better football.

CLOSE! Kleinheisle goes on a run, cuts into the penalty area but he can't find the target as his shot goes wide of the far post.
31'
Hungary
Dzsudzsak exchanges passes with a team mate and only a fantastic tackle from Sigurdsson denies him inside the penalty area. Hungary have a corner.

SAVE! Iceland should score - Gudmundsson shows tremendous strength to get onto the end of Gylfi Sigurdsson's pass but he can't find a way past Kiraly who makes himself big and produces a great save.
28'
Hungary
Another Hungary move comes to nothing. This time Dzsudzsak delivers the ball into a dangerous area but none of his team mates anticipated the cross.
27'
Iceland
Iceland are strong and well organised in defence and the Hungarians are finding it difficult to find a way through at the moment. Arnason intervenes to block Hungary's most recent attack.
26'
STAT! Zoltan Gera has scored three goals in two appearances against Iceland.
25'
It's fair to say that the second-halves in the Euros have provided much more excitement than the first periods, so far.

The final touch once again lets Hungary down as Gera overhits his pass and the ball runs harmlessly to the goalkeeper after Stieber had made a good run into space.

22'
Iceland
Iceland are sitting pretty deep at the moment which is allowing Hungary to pile the pressure on their opponents. It doesn't help that Iceland are finding it difficult to keep a hold of the ball.
21'
The Hungarians last won back-to-back games at a major tournament at the 1966 World Cup - beating Brazil 3-1 at Goodison Park then Bulgaria 3-1 at Old Trafford.
20'
Hungary
The corner is dealt with well by Hungary who are well on top at the moment.
19'
Hungary's set piece comes to little and Iceland break forward at the other end, forcing a corner of their own.
