Late drama as Hungary beat Northern Ireland

Hanna Nemeth scored a last-minute winner as Hungary defeated Northern Ireland 3-2 in the Nations League.

Simone Magill converted a penalty in the 89th minute after Sarah McFadden was fouled, but Nemeth touched home a 94th-minute free-kick for the hosts. The pressure kept coming as Northern Ireland struggled to get out of their own half, and there was another warning sign as Dora Zeller shot straight at Turner before Szabo's opener in the 18th minute.

That seemed to spark Northern Ireland into life and they grew into the half, however they struggled to create any clear-cut openings in the first half as the sodden pitch limited the amount of flowing football from either side. Turner, who has been deputising in goal in the absence of the injured Jackie Burns, produced a superb save to tip Fenyvesi's long-range effort onto the woodwork and Papai should have done better after being played in but the striker could only steer wide.
