Game Matchtracker
Hungary 0 - 0 Republic of Ireland
90' + 3' - Hungary break and again when the attacker has lots of time he decides to hit first and Westwood gathers.
Hungary 0 - 0 Republic of Ireland
90' + 2' - Ireland playing the ball about now. Holding possession.
Hungary 0 - 0 Republic of Ireland
90' + 2' - Ireland win a free just outside the center circle. A last chance?
Hungary 0 - 0 Republic of Ireland
90' + 1' - The free comes in but Westwood gathers.
Hungary 0 - 0 Republic of Ireland
90' - Great ball in, and it tantalisingly bounces all the way through to the keeper. An Irish body in the box appeals but nothing comes of it. Hungary as per usual counter and win a free outside Ireland's box
Hungary 0 - 0 Republic of Ireland
90' - Gibson wins a free kick wide on the right side of the box.
Hungary 0 - 0 Republic of Ireland
89' - Stephen Hunt takes. McGeady crosses but Hungary win it and break at speed. Stephen Ward is there to clear

88' - Ireland playing keep ball until I type it and we lose possession
Hungary 0 - 0 Republic of Ireland

83' - Ireland advance. Firstly on the left and now on the right. Neither avenue successful.
Hungary 0 - 0 Republic of Ireland
81' - Bogdan slices the ball and Ireland win a throw in an attacking position. Walters flicks onto Whelan and his shot/cross is saved. Another good chance and you have to say Walters has done very well since his introduction
Hungary 0 - 0 Republic of Ireland
79' - Another ball is and Hungary concede another corner. Ireland's new attacking players putting more pressure on the home side than those in the first. You feel they could get something here now.
Hungary 0 - 0 Republic of Ireland
78' - Oh I thought that was a goal there. Walters header is off target but as I looked up from typing his free header looked goal bound. But no, it was wide.
Hungary 0 - 0 Republic of Ireland
77' - Stephen Ward, with time on his hands, puts out for a corner. Hungary's second of the game. The corneer comes in and Dunne powers clear. McGeady breaks, finds Cox and he has a shot but the keeper saves. A real chance for Ireland there.
Hungary 0 - 0 Republic of Ireland
77' - Trapattoni has his jacket back on hm after dispensing with it in the first half.
Hungary 0 - 0 Republic of Ireland
75' - Simon Cox passes one and then lines up the shot but a second defender blocks it. Ireland win back possession.

Hungary 0 - 0 Republic of Ireland 63' - Substitution - Damien Duff is off and Stephen Hunt is on
Hungary 0 - 0 Republic of Ireland
62' - Jon Walters makes a great run and shot and Bogdan forced into a save. The ball comes to Cox but his shot goes out and for a goal kick. Good moment for the Irish
Hungary 0 - 0 Republic of Ireland 60' - Substitution - Simon Cox is on and Robbie Keane is on. You can clearly ignore the bench on the team sheets so
Hungary 0 - 0 Republic of Ireland
60' - We reach the hour mark. 60 minutes of Hungarian attacking and not taking their chances in front of goal.
Hungary 0 - 0 Republic of Ireland
59' - As Julian Lee on Twitter said: Ireland doing a great job of lulling Croatia, Spain & Italy into a false sense of security!
Hungary 0 - 0 Republic of Ireland
58' - The wall is moved back. The free kick is lined up. One man over the ball. He shoots and the wall blocks it. 
Hungary 0 - 0 Republic of Ireland 57' - Yellow Card - Ward fouls just outside the box and he earns Ireland's first yellow
Hungary 0 - 0 Republic of Ireland
55' - Ireland win a corner kick. Duff again opts for the massively high ball in. The first ball is won and Robbie Keane has a chance to head goalward but the keeper does enough to prevent.
Hungary 0 - 0 Republic of Ireland
54' - Westwood is forced into a great save as the ball is passed about and around the Irish box with ease by the Hungarians. Really looks poor from Ireland in defence. Great reactions from Westwood there.
Hungary 0 - 0 Republic of Ireland
53' - A couple of excellent chances for Hungary to score there. A couple errors, slips and recoveries all result in hearts beating a little faster as Ireland scramble the danger away.
Hungary 0 - 0 Republic of Ireland
52' - Damien Duff down the right doesn't get a ball into the box but does win a corner. The delivery is a poor one. The opportunity fades away.
Hungary 0 - 0 Republic of Ireland
51' - I do like Jon Walters. He brings alot of strength into the attack. Adam Gyurcso has a shot but drags it wide of the target.
Hungary 0 - 0 Republic of Ireland
49' - Jozsef Varga and Glenn Whelan collide and Whelan wins the free. The ball over the top to Keane comes to nothing and the ball eventually returns back to Mr Westwood.
Hungary 0 - 0 Republic of Ireland
48' - Varga ball in and Westwood takes it well. Good to get his hands on the ball early on.
Hungary 0 - 0 Republic of Ireland
47' - Walters runs offside, sends the ball in and Keane finishes. When I say offside, he was onside and flagged off. Great start from him.
Hungary 0 - 0 Republic of Ireland
46' - Given not coming out hopefully is just proving he is fit and ok and now rested. Good to get Westwood out there eitherway 
Hungary 0 - 0 Republic of Ireland 46' - Second Half - The game is back underway
Hungary 0 - 0 Republic of Ireland 46' - Substitution - Vancak is on for Pinter. Westwood is on for Given. Jon Walters is on for Kevin Doyle 
Hungary 0 - 0 Republic of Ireland 45' + 1' - Half Time - Hard to really take much from a game so close to the opening EURO 2012 match. Players will not want to pick up an injury and your mind has got to be a bit focused on that.
Hungary 0 - 0 Republic of Ireland 45' + 1' - Half Time - It is half time and it remains scoreless in Ferenc Puskas Stadium!
Hungary 0 - 0 Republic of Ireland
45' + 1' - So looking back over the half, Hungary had two or three really good chances and a good lot of long range shots. Ireland have attacked but need more imagination going forward
Hungary 0 - 0 Republic of Ireland
45' - Vladimir Koman is down injured and the ref indicates one added minute.
Hungary 0 - 0 Republic of Ireland
44' - A great opportunity for Hungary but the finish is poor. Stephen Ward however has remained down after the attack. He is treated and te game restarts
Hungary 0 - 0 Republic of Ireland 42' - Yellow Card - An attempted break from Kevin Doyle ends in a foul by Zsolt Korcsmar and he is booked
Hungary 0 - 0 Republic of Ireland
41' - Hungary attack. The right wing is the area of choice for the drive forward but Ward clears upfield.
Hungary 0 - 0 Republic of Ireland
40' - One of the worst updates we are sometimes guilty of is: It's five minutes from half time. On a tweet with 40' beside it. We will endevour to cease this horrendous behaviour. Back to the action and it's five minutes from half time.
Hungary 0 - 0 Republic of Ireland
38' - You can contact me on twitter by including @ExtratimeNews in your tweet.
Hungary 0 - 0 Republic of Ireland
36' - Sean St Ledger slips in the box and Adam Szalai had roughly a million seconds to line himself up, but he does a spin shot that roll towards Given. That should have been goal number one.
Hungary 0 - 0 Republic of Ireland
35' - Robbie Keane is flagged offside but he was onside. Robbie's trademark hand wave of frustration is utilised.
Hungary 0 - 0 Republic of Ireland
35' - A better spell for the Irish lads in that Hungary haven't had a long range shot in a few minutes..
Hungary 0 - 0 Republic of Ireland
34' - Glenn Whelan attempts a shot from the free but it's high and over.
Hungary 0 - 0 Republic of Ireland
32' - Stephen Ward fires a long high ball into the box, to the back post but no Irish lurk. However Robbie Keane has now won a free kick on the edge of the box. Danger here!
Hungary 0 - 0 Republic of Ireland
31' - Great Odin's Raven, my hands are tired. From 31 minutes typing. If this was the Euro's of Updates, I'm afraid I would be accused of a bad warm up!
Hungary 0 - 0 Republic of Ireland
30' - First corner of the game and it's for Hungary. It is taken short, and when it does come in, a sorta header pinball takes place before Ireland slowly clear up field
Hungary 0 - 0 Republic of Ireland
29' - A high lobbed ball into the box from Robbie Keane sees Bogdan and Doyle jump for it but Doyle doesn't have the advantage of using his hands and so Bodgen takes...
Hungary 0 - 0 Republic of Ireland
28' - Ireland win the ball in the Hungarian half but despite an attack on the cards, the ball is played slowly and backwards.
Hungary 0 - 0 Republic of Ireland
26' - Clearly the game plan for Hungary is if you get the ball in the Irish half then shoot. Shoot from anywhere. Often.
Hungary 0 - 0 Republic of Ireland
26' - Well 26 minutes gone and you'd have to say Hungary are the better attacking side. Ireland have attacked but haven't tested the keeper as much as Given has been
Hungary 0 - 0 Republic of Ireland
24' - Adam Gyurcso attempts a shot which is blocked by the back of an Irish player. Balazs Dzsudzsak then has another long range blast and Given forced to parry. Hungary are really pressing the Irish defence with a great ability for to fire off long range strikes
Hungary 0 - 0 Republic of Ireland
23' - We will be covering every Euro 2012 game with Live updates and reports so we hope you will join us if you are not watching on TV or at the game and even then join us for the fun of it!
Hungary 0 - 0 Republic of Ireland
22' - From a great chance for Ireland to a Hungarian attack. They are so fast on the break.
Hungary 0 - 0 Republic of Ireland
20' - Hungary look for a penalty but nothing comes of it and Ireland win a kick out.
Hungary 0 - 0 Republic of Ireland
19' - John O'Shea finds he is in the place to send a ball in but it's poor and Hungary counter quickly again but this time rather than a long range shot the ball just runs harmlessly over the end line
Hungary 0 - 0 Republic of Ireland
18' - Another long range shot from Dzsudzak and Given is forced to make a one handed save after the ball was deflected on the way to him. Well done Mr Shay.
Hungary 0 - 0 Republic of Ireland
16' - Balazs Dzsudzak, whom I hope has a quiet night because his name is a pain to type, tries a long range effort that bounces in front of Given who saves well.
Hungary 0 - 0 Republic of Ireland
15' - Straight up the other end of the pitch, Robbie Keane fires a shot in from the edge of the box and Adam Bogdan puts in a save to deny the captain...
Hungary 0 - 0 Republic of Ireland
14' - Peter Szakaly attempts to attack and Richard Dunne puts in an excellent tackle in the box and manages to clear and win a goal kick. Awesome.
Hungary 0 - 0 Republic of Ireland
13' - What is your thoughts on the starting XI? Tweet me at @extratimeNews
Hungary 0 - 0 Republic of Ireland
13' - And as I say it, a great through ball to Robbie Keane is stopped by his heel. If the ball had not, he was through on goal.
Hungary 0 - 0 Republic of Ireland
11' - McGeady again breaks down the left but again the interchange with Robbie Keane was too fiddly and the chance goes. At the moment, Ireland have found potential attack avenues, they just haven't found a final pass
Hungary 0 - 0 Republic of Ireland
10' - The Hungarian midfield attempt to pass it around but the Irish move up and pressure them resulting in an Irish throw, good to see.
Hungary 0 - 0 Republic of Ireland
9' - McGeady breaks and Robbie Keane looks like he was going to take it from the Russian based player but instead leaves it. McGeady assuming Keane wouldn't leave a ball in the box also leaves it. A Hungarian defender doesn't and clears it
Hungary 0 - 0 Republic of Ireland
8' - Sean St Ledger uses his opponent as a ladder, free to Hungary and the ball into the box results in some scrappy defending and now we have two players on the deck. The Irish man down is Whelan but he looks like he'll be fine!
Hungary 0 - 0 Republic of Ireland
6' - Kevin Doyle is fouled as he charges towards the goal. A free kick for Ireland now from 40 yards out. The ball is sent down the wing and Duff launches a lovely ball into the box and John O'Shea's header goes just over the bar. A good effort.
Hungary 0 - 0 Republic of Ireland
5' - The delay in kick-off has meant Alan Finn is not updating so you can get me on twitter at @ExtratimeNews instead. I want your tweets because I am alone and need the positive affirmation people are looking in at my words of very little wisdom
Hungary 0 - 0 Republic of Ireland
3' - Aidan McGeady's first venture down the wing results in a Stephen Ward cross but the keeper is up and catches the high delivery. Unsettled in the first few minutes as the teams check each other out.
Hungary 0 - 0 Republic of Ireland
2' - We do now. It's ok, the delay in kick off has clearly upset me. A misplaced pass gives Hungary an opportunity to attack but they fail to and Ireland come away with it in the shape of Robbie Keane
Hungary 0 - 0 Republic of Ireland
2' - An early free kick for Hungary in the centre of the park. The ball is missing though. WE HAVE NO BALL.
Hungary 0 - 0 Republic of Ireland 1' - Kick-off - The silence is brief and the game is eventually underway now
Hungary 0 - 0 Republic of Ireland
0' - Ireland in white, Hungary in red. The is a minutes silence first though...
Hungary 0 - 0 Republic of Ireland
0' - The fans cheers and boo and cheer. We are 17 minutes late on kick off there. But we do have kick off. A very stable Irish team, no real surprises and we are about to start
Hungary 0 - 0 Republic of Ireland
0' - The Hungarian anthem is equally as wonky. The lightning clearly hit the sound system. Or it's a remix. Bad remix. Very bad. Hopefully the football will be better....
Hungary 0 - 0 Republic of Ireland
0' - The game WILL happen! The players are out on the pitch now and after a long stand in the tunnel for the Irish team. A wonky version of the Irish National Anthem is playing. The players do their best to keep in note... *cough*
Hungary 0 - 0 Republic of Ireland
0' - Can't remember the last Ireland game called off due to weather? The rugby team obviously suffered that during the 6 Nations. Anyone?
Hungary 0 - 0 Republic of Ireland
0' - I've played in games in rain like that. Never has all the players come off the pitch uninjured. Collisions the common culprit. So we await news as the players stand about in the tunnel looking on at the lashing rain
Hungary 0 - 0 Republic of Ireland
0' - So officials have indicated there is a ten minute delay as thunderstorms pass over. The crowd seem to be ok to be there oddly enough
Hungary 0 - 0 Republic of Ireland
0' - Kick off has been delayed due to thunderstorms.
Hungary 0 - 0 Republic of Ireland
0' - The game has been delayed due to possible thunderstorms we think. The rain is bucketing down as the Irish players stand waiting in the tunnel.
Hungary 0 - 0 Republic of Ireland

0' - Under 30 minutes from kick off now. The air of excitement about the tournament is really taking hold now and tonight Extratime.ie will be putting their EURO 2012 Portal online as well. Woohoo we can here you all say!
Hungary 0 - 0 Republic of Ireland
0' - Provided there are no injuries tonight, the starting XI for this friendly will be the same line-up that will face Croatia in Ireland's opening Euro 2012 Group C game.
Hungary 0 - 0 Republic of Ireland
0' - This is the last match for Giovanni Trapattoni and the lads before they compete in their first major Championships for 10 years. Croatia on Sunday will be the opener. News emerged today that Croatia will be without striker Olic for EURO 2012
Hungary 0 - 0 Republic of Ireland
0' - No late changes to the Ireland team and the bench is now available - the players not on the bench tonight are Forde, McShane, Green, McClean, and Cox. Make of that what you wish! |
