Germany and Hungary’s only previous encounter at a major tournament was in the 1954 World Cup. They faced each other twice: in the group stages (8-3 to Hungary) and in the final (3-2 to West Germany), with the two games totaling 16 goals. The group stage defeat remains Germany’s heaviest to date at a major tournament.
Germany and Hungary’s only previous meeting in Munich was 110 years ago, in a friendly played in December 1911 at the city’s MTV-Platz stadium. Hungary won 4-1.
Under Joachim Löw, Germany have beaten Hungary both times they have met – both friendlies, by an aggregate scoreline of 5-0 (3-0 in Budapest, May 2010; 2-0 in Gelsenkirchen, June 2016).
The match will be played at ALLIANZ ARENA at 8:00pm today.
