Happy ending for Hungary against FYROM

FYROM 2-4 Hungary
Two red cards and two penalties helped Hungary end their ultimately unsuccessful elite round Group 7 tilt with three points.

The Former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia ended their elite round campaign with no points as Hungary capitalised on two red cards and two penalties in their final UEFA European Under-19 Championship Group 7 fixture.

Filip Naumchevski had put FYROM ahead after beating Péter Nacsa on 26 minutes, but Máté Skriba equalised from the spot after Filip Najdovski fouled Roland Ugrai. Captain Darko Micevski received a straight red card for a challenge on Roland Szolnoki ten minutes before the break, with Skriba converting a second penalty to make it 2-1 on 53 minutes.

Szolnoki made it 3-1 on 71 minutes, but FYROM responded almost straight from the restart, Filip Timov on target. A second yellow card for Dino Najdoski stopped any hopes of a recovery in their tracks, though it took substitute Gergő Nagy's late strike to make Hungary's win safe. They finish third in the section, with point-less FYROM fourth.
