Referee L Frohlich (Germany)

1st minute Hungary get the game underway. Brown shepherds the ball out for England's first throw.

2 First England cross of the game from Batty wide on the right. Flicked away from Phillips by a Hungarian head.

3 England enjoy a period of possession deep in their own half.

4 Butt tries a long-range shot but it's deflected and Kiraly, Hungary's goalkeeper, collects comfortably.

5 Another long range effort from England as Phillips unleashes a powerful shot straight at Kiraly.

6 Hungary's first significant attack ends with a cross from the right which Seaman claims confidently at his near post.

8 McManaman weaves into the Hungarian penalty area from the right but his cross for Sherwood is cut-out. The game has a leisurely pace with neither side demonstrating any real urgency.

10 Hungary press on their right flank but Seaman intercepts a cross at the near post for a second time.

12 McManaman links with Phillips in the Hungary box but the referee turns away penalty claims after the Sunderland striker is felled.

14 First clear chance of the game falls to Illis, one-on-one with Seaman, but the Arsenal 'keeper deflects his shot over the bar for a corner.

15 Another Hungarian shot on Seaman's goal but it's well wide of his left post.

17 Illis attacks a deep England defence for the third time. This time he wastes a cross but continues to look Hungary's most dangerous player.

18 Kosos outpaces Brown and cuts into the England box. The Manchester United defender brings him down and Hungary have a free-kick just outside the England penalty area. The home side waste the chance with a long ball towards Seaman's back post which is easily headed clear by Keown.

20 Goal: Hungary 0-1 England Penalty - Shearer brought down just inside the area. The Newcastle man converts with a powerful strike to the left of a wrong-footed Kiraly.

24 McManaman and Ferdinand link defence and midfield as England move the ball crisply. The move eventually breaks down without a shot on goal.

25 Shearer slips a through ball past the last line of Hungary's defence to Phillips. His shot is low and hard but Kiraly saves smartly with his legs.

27 Ferdinand concedes an unnecessary freekick deep in England territory but Seaman collects the cross after a brief scramble in front of him.

29 England break throught centre. Butt receives the ball on the left and cuts in towards goal but his right-foot shot is blocked. Phillips does well to get a header on target following a cross from the England right-wing but Kiraly saves with ease.

30 Shearer again runs clear, one-on-one with Kiraly but fires low and straight allowing the 'keeper to gather.

33 More positive passing from England after a short corner taken by McManaman. Sherwood strikes a bouncing ball from the edge of the Hungarian penalty area but can't keep it down and it sails clear of Kiraly's crossbar.

35 McManaman swings a shot right-footed but falls backwards in doing so and gets little power.

36 Seaman claims a high cross, again from the Hungarian right wing.

38 Hungary one-two their way through the centre of England's defence but Keown gets back and nods the ball down for Seaman to gather.

40 Another attack from the home side ends with a wasted final ball. This time a cross from their right is over-hit and loops out for an England goal-kick.

41 England press hard and Hungary, under pressure near their own penalty area, concede a corner. England play it short but lose possession through some slack passing.

42 Tentative defending from England results in a misguided ball across their own penalty area. A chance is nearly presented to Hungary but Keown scrambles a clearance.

43 Shearer and McManaman combine to release Phillips one-on-one with Kiraly but the referee blows for offside. Replays suggest his decision was wrong.

45 Seaman just beats Illis to a ball over the England back-line, who occasionally look vulnerable.


Hungary 0 - 1 England

46 England win a corner straight from the restart but it is hit too long and Hungary clear. The home side break at speed but Neville gets back to thwart the attack.

47 A low freekick from Hungary is hacked clear by England. Hungary seem to lack real accuracy with their passes in the last third.

48 The impressive Keown shows characteristic determination to snuff out a Hungarian break down the right.

49 Phillips carries the ball into Hungarian territory and is fouled on the turn.

51 Brown attacks on the right for England but his first-touch is heavy and the ball finds touch for a Hungarian goal-kick.

52 Dombi isolates Ferdinand at the back and strikes an excellent shot on the turn. Seaman saves well low to his right.

53 Dombi again tests Seaman. This time he bends a shot from 25 yards which the Arsenal man tips over the bar at full-stretch.

54 Another shot from the Hungarians - blocked by Shearer, who heads the ball out for a Hungary corner. The home side growing as an attacking force.

55 Ferdinand clashes with a Hungarian attacker in Seaman's area. Penalty appeals are turned away and Seaman clears the danger. Shearer eases the pressure on England by winning a freekick on the edge of the Hungarian penalty-box.

58 More incisive work from Illis on the edge of Seaman's box but Keown gets in a challenge at the last and the striker's shot rolls harmlessly to Seaman.

62 England substitution: Carragher on for Ferdinand

63 Both sides scrap for the ball in midfield. Hungary come up with it but Dombi hits an aimless cross over his strikers' heads.

66 England work the ball just inside the Hungarian half with McManaman eventually breaking into the opposition box. He cuts onto his right foot but fires a shot more in the direction of Seaman's goal than Kiraly's.

67 Phillips feeds Neville on the England left, but he too over-hits the cross.

69 Keown again clears a dangerous cross from the Hungarian right.

70 Phillips scampers after a long-ball from Butt but Hungary clear with ease.

71 Illis goes down in the area under pressure from Keown to loud penalty claims from the Hungarian support. Keown informs his opponent that diving isn't fair.

74 England substitution: Michael Gray replaces Brown.

75 Batty feeds McManaman, now on the right, but his clipped cross towards Shearer is cut-out by Kiraly.

76 Goal: Hungary 1-1 England Hrutka swerves a fierce 30-yard freekick into the corner of Seaman's goal after a foul by Carragher.

79 Another chance for Hungary as Somogyi smacks a 25 right-footed shot just over Seaman's crossbar.

80 The ball nearly falls to Phillips in front of Hungary's goal but Kiraly comes off his line to beat him to it.

82 England substitution: Heskey replaces Phillips.

83 England move with purpose through the Hungarian half but Shearer is caught fractionally offside.

84 England substitution: Redknapp replaces McManaman.

86 Gray pulls an excellent low ball across Kiraly's six-yard box only for a lunging Shearer to prod a tame effort straight at the Hungarian 'keeper.

88 Shearer rolls a ball into the feet of Heskey deep in the Hungarian penalty area but he cannot turn his man and the chance goes to waste.

90 Seaman sprints off his line to clear a ball over the England defence with Dombi accelerating away from the chasing Carragher.
