Leon Goretzka was the hero as Germany twice came from behind to draw with Hungary and set up a UEFA Euro 2020 last-16 tie with England.

Germany 2-2 Hungary
Goals: 0-1 Ad. Szalai (11'), 1-1 Havertz (66'), 1-2 Schäfer (68'), 2-2 Goretzka (84')

After thrashing Portugal 4-2 on Matchday 2, Germany knew they would advance so long as they avoided defeat at Munich's Allianz Arena. The three-time winners started brightly enough as Joshua Kimmich forced a reflex save from Peter Gulacsi, but Hungary hadn't read the script. A quick counter, spearheaded by the brilliant Roland Sallai, caught the hosts cold. The Freiburg attacker dropped off into space to whip a brilliant ball onto the head of Adam Szalai, whose stooping header blew Group F wide open. Germany responded as Gulacsi fended off a teasing Kai Havertz cross, before Mats Hummels crashed a header against the crossbar. Matthias Ginter went close moments later, but poked his close-range effort straight at Gulacsi.

Germany monopolised possession in the early stages of the season half, but news of France taking the lead against Portugal in Budapest suddenly had them crashing out. Sallai sent a free-kick against Manuel Neuer's upright, before Germany got themselves back on level terms. Gulacsi didn't deal with Toni Kroos' ball into the box, allowing Hummels to head goalwards, and Havertz to apply the finishing touch from close-range. Hungary's response was emphatic: from the restart, a long ball found Andras Schäfer, who beat Neuer to the punch and headed the Magyars back in front. Kroos shot wide as Germany threw the kitchen-sink, with their persistence rewarded six minutes from normal time. Substitutes Jamal Musiala, Timo Werner and Goretzka combined, the latter rifling in with the aid of a deflection to secure Joachim Löw's men the runners-up spot in Group F.
