UEFA Nations League 2022/23: Jonas Hofmann once again on the scoresheet
A 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 cross was headed at goal by Roland Sallai, and Manuel Neuer palmed the ball only as far as Nagy, who controlled before firing into the roof of the net.

Clever play from Jamal Musiala helped create an opportunity for David Raum to cut inside and bend an effort just wide of Gulacsi’s 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 for the goalscorer to make a mess of his attempted pass to Timo Werner, allowing Willi Orban to clear.

What does it mean? Flick must find finishing touch soon
Germany 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 possession Germany had they will be disappointed 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.
