FIFA World champions France were almost shocked to an extend which led to some tensed moments and panic in the French camp. Miscued kicks, frustration and disappointment in the early half was doused with a much-needed second-half equaliser from Antoine Griezmann to secure a 1-1 draw with Hungary in Budapest on Saturday. France edge closer to the Euro 2020 last 16 with the draw.

Left-back Attila Fiola's goal in first-half stoppage time sent a packed Puskas Arena wild but Griezmann hit back midway through the second period to send France top of Group F.
