Germany continued the big game and had good control against Hungary. It ended up being 2–0 in Stuttgart, and now the Germans are ready for the round of 16 at home. Nevertheless, the 1-0 score creates reactions. Where Germany star Ilkay Gündogan ended up in a duel with Willi Orbán and the latter went to the ground. Seconds later, Jamal Musiala would make it 1-0 for the Germans. Several Hungarian players stormed the referee and Varga was awarded a yellow card. news’s football expert Åge Hareide believes the goal should not have stood. – I think Gündogan is going too hard on the Hungarian player, he is clearly going after him. Then it’s a free kick, he gets completely off balance. It is very surprising that the referee and VAR do not see it, says Hareide.

Some blow, others don’t. Therefore, it is not VAR food, because it is not a clear mistake by the referee. A defender will always claim he should have a free kick, while an attacking player will think that the opponent falls too easily, says Løkberg.

Personally, I think there is not enough to blow there, and he can thank himself for the way he goes in, says the news expert. TV 2’s expert Jesper Mathisen was clear in his speech about what he thought about the duel between Gündogan and Orbán. – The judge is very, very well positioned. Now that duel is being checked, but it is of course nothing to get excited about. So much touching, so much fighting must be allowed in football, said Mathisen during the match. – A blissful chaos Germany made a big impression in the opening match and crushed Scotland 5-1. Hungary did not want to be bowled over in the same way and started strongly against the host nation. But after a few scary Hungarian chances, it was the Germans who took the first step. Ilkay Gündogan made his usual runs into the box and wrestled the ball with him. Hungary messed up violently and were unable to clear, and Musiala finally sent the ball into the net. – A blissful chaos that ends with German scoring, said news’s commentator Patrick Rowlands. TV 2’s commentators fully praised goalscorer Musiala. – It is absolutely extreme. What a technique, what a timing, commented Mathisen. Germany continued to dominate, but Hungary were not harmless. Suddenly, Roland Sallai poked the ball into the goal, but the goal was correctly ruled out for offside. Later, the man focused on the first goal would put the ball in the net himself. Gündogan put the ball safely into the net from the penalty spot. Thus, German victory was virtually sealed, and the Germans had good control over Hungary. With that, Julian Nagelsmann’s team has a full pot after two games. They are now ready for the round of 16 and are favorites to top the table in group A.
