World Cup Qualifier: Hungary v Ireland Updates
Hungary leads Group F with 8 points but needs Portugal to slip; Ireland sits just behind with 7 points, needing a win to secure a World Cup playoff spot.
- On Sunday, November 16, 2025, at the Puskás Aréna in Budapest, Hungary national team opened scoring in the third minute with the live score showing HUN 1-0 early.
- With group positions tight, Hungary sit second with 8 points and need Portugal to falter, while Ireland have 7 points and a win would secure March play-offs.
- From the first minute, Hungary earned a corner and Dominik Szoboszlai fizzed a second delivery that Daniel Lukacs met with a header, while commentators called it 'the worst possible start' for Ireland defence.
- Ireland levelled through a VAR-checked penalty in the 15th minute after an Attila Szalai foul, with Troy Parrott converting and maintaining Ireland national team's unbeaten record when he scores.
- The game is live on Sony LIV and RTE2, and recent Group F drama—including a 2-2 draw between these teams and Cristiano Ronaldo's red card—has heightened qualification stakes.
