Dominik Szoboszlai's superb strike completed a remarkable late turnaround as Hungary secured a spot at EURO 2020 with a stunning 2-1 win over Iceland.
Having defended brilliantly amid a Hungary onslaught, Iceland looked to be heading to its second European Championship thanks to Gylfi Sigurdsson's 11th-minute opener, which came courtesy of Peter Gulacsi's howler.
Yet after substitute Albert Gudmundsson missed a glorious chance to wrap up the win in the 87th minute, Hungary struck twice to book a place at the 2021 finals.
Loic Nego had prodded in from close range, before star man Szoboszlai stole victory, thumping in off the upright to thwart Iceland in the most dramatic fashion.
