Live Commentary
Time:90'- Czech Republic
- Hungary
90+3' There goes the final whistle! No winning send-off for Czech Republic as Hungary complete a 2-1 win in Prague. A fine performance by them.
90+1' Another change for Hungary as Balazs Dzsudzsak departs to be replaced by Andras Debreceni. Party mood among the Hungary fans.- 89' We are into three minutes of time added on here. Hungary heading for a 2-1 win in Prague.
- 88' Imre Szabics replaces Peter Szakaly. So many changes for the Czechs and Hungarians in this match.
- 86' Only minutes left on the clock as the Czechs are punished for throwing too many bodies forward. Hungary fans celebrate in the crowd.
84' GOAL! Hungary grab the lead. Gyurcso slams the ball beyond Cech from Balazs Dzsudzsak's raking pass and that is a fine goal. Surely the winning goal.- 82' Kadlec looking to join the attack here as drops a high ball forward, but it is Balazs Dzsudzsak who picks up for Hungary.
- 81' Crowd continue to try to inspire their side as the ball drops out of play. Czechs giving the ball away quite needlessly.
- 80' The home side have now made six changes to their starting line-up.
- 79' Tomas Hubschman replaces Petr Jiracek for Czechs.
- 78' Czechs continue to keep the ball here as they press for this winner, but Hungary look in alert on the break for the Hungarian. The rythmn of the game being disruped by a rash of substitutions.
- 76' Plasil departs to be replaced by Lafata for the home side.
- 75' A Mexican wave breaks out around the home stadium in Prague. Players taking a drinks break before resuming.
- 74' Pekhart and Zsolt Korcsmar collide in the air. Both men needing some treatment here.
- 73' Plasil throws in the free-kick, but easy take for Bogdan.
72' Pilar brought down by Vanczak and that is a booking for the Hungarian defender.- 71' Pilar lifts the ball over the bar from the edge of the box. Golden chance after some fine play by Hubnik.
- 70' Pilar has been booked for a late tackle from behind on Gyurcso.
- 69' Rezek departs to be replaced by Rajtoral for the home side.
- 68' Zsolt Korcsmar takes out Pilar as he raced through the middle. Booked already. Would have been a red card in a competitive game.
- 67' Kadlec wearing a protective mask for the Czech side this evening as he knocks the ball out of play. Taking no chances.
- 66' Adam Gyurcso arrives for Tamas Koltai as Hungary shuffle their pack for a second time tonight.
- 65' Kadlec flicks on Plasil's free-kick. Hubnik tries to convert, but Bogdan is mindful of the danger in making the stop.
- 64' Balazs Dzsudzsak turning Hubnik inside out. Drops the cross into the box, but the Czechs clear the danger.
- 63' Tomas Pekhart takes over from Milan Baros.
- 62' Changes then for the Czechs. Vladimar Darida replaces Daniel Kolar.
- 61' Jiracek with the cross, but Meszaros makes the clearance for the visitors.
- 60' Not a full house, but the Czech fans certainly lending their voices to the home side. Would dearly love a winning goal here.

- 58' Pekhart and Lafata getting ready to come on for the home side.
- 57' Hungary with 11 men behind the ball. Proving to be a tough nut to crack as Czechs prepare to make a change here.
- 56' Jiracek down on the ground. Seemed to be a heavy fall in a challenge for a header. Czechs on the ball inside the visiting half.
- 55' Cech has to win the ball from Szalai outside of his box before walloping the ball down the park. Cool play by the Chelsea goalkeeper.
- 54' Zsolt Korcsmar taken out late by Rezek. Hungary not really been seen much going forward since the goal, but they have been well organised.
- 53' Ball breaks to Pilar at the edge of the box, but he screws the volley wide of goal. Good connection, but no direction.
- 52' Pilar tries to get a move going, but his shot is blocked before David Limbersky cross is blocked for a corner.
- 51' Not exactly the most fluent of displays by the Czech side. Could do with lifting the tempo a bit. Not really cutting open the Hungarians.
50' An offside flag goes up against the Hungary forward Adám Szalai.- 49' Rezek being well marked out wide. Crosses the ball into the Hungarian box, but straight into the arms of Bogdan.
- 48' Plasil fires in a free-kick early in the second period, but he overcooks that by some margin. A goalkick to the Hungarians.
- 47' Hubnik has taken over for Sivok for the Czechs in central defence.
46' We are off and running at the outset of the second period.- 45+2' There goes the half-time whistle. 1-1 at the break.
- 44' We are into a couple of minutes of time added on.
- 43' Pilar trying to find a bit of space, but Hungary have plenty of bodies behind the ball.
- 42' Hungary have not qualified for a major finals since Mexico's World Cup in 1986, but they have looked half decent here.

- 40' Cech throws the ball out from the home goal. Rezek goes to ground hopefully looking for a penalty, but never a foul. Bogdan picks up for Hungary.
- 39' In case you fancy a tickle on this match: Czechs 4/6 for the win. Hungary 8/1 and the draw is 7/4.
- 37' Czechs open their campaign in Group A a week today against Russia. Poland and Greece are their other opponents in what looks to be an open section.
- 36' Balazs Dzsudzsak throws in a dangerous free-kick. Fine delivery, but the white shirts of the home side hold firm to deal with the cross.
- 35' Meszaros is introduced for the injured Juhasz here for the visiting team.
- 34' Juhasz is being carted off in a stretcher for the visiting side. Tough luck on him. Hungary will need to make a change here. Down to 10 men at the moment.
33' Juhasz in a real spot of trouble here. This does not look good for the Hungary skipper. Went down with nobody near him.- 32' Milan Baros trying to combine with Pilar. Some really smart football by the Czech Republic, but Hungary deal with the danger.
- 31' Baros tries to pick out Pilar, but Bogdan races from his line to make the clearance.
- 30' Hungary forward Gergely Rudolf is sidelined through injury for this one while Zoltan Liptak and Akos Buzsaky are also out. Zoltan Gera will not be fit to return to the line up, either as Hungary have to contend with a spate of injuries.
- 29' Szalai doing some fine work out wide to hold up Kadlec. Hungary certainly causing a few headaches when they go on the attack.
- 28' That Czech bench doing a fair amount of munching on chewing gum. Will be interesting to see how many changes are made by the home side in this match.
- 27' Pilar complaining of a body check against Vanczek, but the referee is not interested. On we go with the score level at 1-1.
- 26' Juhasz flicks the ball goalwards for Hungary, but Cech keeps an eye on the ball as it drops wide.
- 24' Kolar fails to keep the ball in play from a long ball down the park and Hungary thump the goal-kick back into the home half courtesy of Bogdan.
- 23' Czechs looking a lot more content now with Selassie trying to join the party for the home side.
- 22' GOAL! Kadlec drives the ball down the middle. Bogdan guessed right, but could not keep it out. We are 1-1 in the friendly match.
- 21' Was the right call and Kadlec is going to take this one for the Czech Republic.
20' Penalty to the Czechs after Baros is brought down by Juhasz.- 19' Czechs trying to settle themselves down here after that early Hungarian goal appeared to rattle them.
- 18' Pilar on the deck here needing treatment after taking a heavy fall as he challenged for a loose ball with Szalai.
- 17' Pilar and Jiracek combine well inside the Hungarian box, but the visiting team snuff out the danger.
- 16' Varga heads out the free-kick from Plasil, whose delivery was fairly poor from out wide.
- 15' The home fans boo that decision, but the referee got the decision spot on.
- 14' Rezek finishes off a nice move from the Czechs, but the goal is not going to count after an earlier foul by Kolar. Good spot by a linesman.
- 13' Laczko lifts the ball straight out of play from out wide. Poor delivery there.
- 12' Baros taken out of the game late by Korcsmar, who is booked for that effort.
- 11' Kolar heads the ball well wide from Limbersky's delivery. Decent movement from the home team, but we remain at 1-0 in favour of Hungary.
- 10' Czechs trying to get on the ball to compose themselves after that early setback.
- 9' Plasil tries to dink a free-kick over Bogdan from out wide, but the Hungary keeper scrambles back to make the stop.
- 8' Great strike from Balazs Dzsudzsak. Hungary with a shock early advantage in this game.
- 7' GOAL! Balazs Dzsudzsak chips the ball high into the net from 25 yards out. Cech was caught sleeping organising his wall and the visiting team have a 1-0 lead.
- 6' Baros was the top scorer at Euro 2004. Will be looking to add to his haul at this year's tournament.
- 5' Plasil throws the ball into the middle of the box, but Baros can't convert under pressure. Nice evening for football in Prague.
- 4' Juhasz with a late challenge on Rezek. That was a really cynical challenge. Free-kick chance for the home side.
- 3' Czech coach Michal Bilek: "We are going to struggle to win, entertain people and keep a positive atmosphere to keep the self-confidence before the game. We want to try different variations of the game and the match will be important also to the audience that we want to lean on our side."
- 2' Bogdan out to win the ball for Hungary after some decent play by Plasil in the visiting half.
1' We are off and running. Czechs in white with Hungary in traditional red.- 17.55 Czech Republic captain Tomas Rosicky will miss his side’s last warm-up match against Hungary because of injury. However, coach Michal Bilek confirmed that the Arsenal midfielder will start training on Monday and will have recovered from his calf muscle injury in time for their first game of Euro 2012.
