What happened in the first leg of England vs Hungary ?

England travelled to the Puskas Arena in Budapest on 2 September 2021 and beat the home team 4-0. The end of the first half saw the scores as even, however in the second half Raheem Sterling, Harry Kane, Harry Maguire and Declan Rice all put goals at the back of the Hungarian net.

Unfortunately, it was not England’s impressive goal-scoring that caught the media’s attention. The Hungarian fans targeted England striker Sterling and midfielder Jude Bellingham with racial abuse throughout the match, throwing cups down onto the pitch and shouting monkey chants at the players.

Hungary were subsequently ordered by Fifa’s disciplinary committee to play their next home World Cup qualifier behind closed doors as well as pay a 200,000 Swiss francs (£158,000) fine as punishment.

The Metropolitan Police have announced that they are set to increase their presence outside Wembley Stadium in order to prevent further racial abuse and will also help to control the crowds to stop any repeats of the Euro 2020 final.

Have England qualified for the World Cup 2022?

Even if England beat Hungary in tonight’s game at Wembley, they cannot automatically qualify for the World Cup in Qatar next year as they still require two more wins to guarantee their place.

England currently sit four points clear of second place Albania in Group I after their seven matches.

After playing Hungary, England will then host Albania on 12 November 2021 before travelling to San Marino - who are currently bottom of the group - on 15 November 2021.

Hungary’s recent form has given them little chance of any World Cup 2022 hopes as they have lost for the second time in the space of a month, with their only victory being a 2-1 win over Andorra since being thrashed by England on 2 September.
