Full-time: Germany 2-2 Hungary
Germany go through, probably in second position to play England, while France win the group, Portugal come third - unless one of them scores a winner - and Hungary go home. Phew!
90+3'
I feel like I'm opening myself up for ridicule - yes, all of the time - but when I say that Hungary are finished. They've given everything and more, but that second goal absolutely finished them. And here comes Sane down the right with men in the box ... and he whacks it past all of them.
90+2
Szalai moves out of defence with the ball, only to pass it in touch. Poor man.
90+1'
What a match this has been. What a night this has been. What a sport this is.
90'
There'll be four added minutes.

If Germany can score again they'll win the group, but for reasons known best to themselves, they do not appear to be very scared of England, wining a succession of corners and keeping the ball near the quadrant, rather than sending their defenders forward and sticking a cross into the box.

The excellent Kleinheiser goes off and Lovrencsics comes on.
86'
Fiola bursts past Kimmich and down the left side of the box ... but Kimmich finds the tip of his big toe to prod the ball away just when things looked dangerous.

GOAL! Germany 2-2 Hungary (Goretzka) The subs make the difference! Werner finds Musiala down the right and he wriggles onto the ball then cuts it back for Werner again. His shot is blocked but the ball rebounds to Goretzka and he flings every fibre of his solidity into ta shot which flicks of Schafer and tears past Gulasci! This game! This game!

Kroos, who's been very quiet, plays a one-two off Gosens and for a second it looks like he's in.But there's a man right with him so he has to shoot quickly with the outside of his boot, not open his body to use the inside, and his futsal-style effort scoots wide.
80'
Even now, there's very little enterprise or urgency about what Germany are doing. They're getting men into the box, but humped crosses is exactly what the Hungary defenders want to face.
79'
I can't overstate the poverty of Germany's performance tonight, likewise the excellence of Hungary's.
76'
Germany are doing a lot of nothing.
74'
Hungary are holding on now, withdrawing Sallai to send on Schon.
72'
This is absolutely insane and spectacular.

Muller replaces Gnabry, who's had a poor night, while Werner is on for Havertz.

GOAL! Germany 1-2 Hungary (Schafer) ARE YOU KIDDING ME! WHAT ARE WE SEEING! Hungary keep it from kick-off, pump it forward once, it comes back and they go again, then Szalai sticks it down the middle between Sane and Hummels, Schafer charging between them desperate to put himself in harm's way while the German defenders demured, and he lifts an excellent finish over Neuer! we're seeing football! Football!
