Budapest: Hungary reached their first major finals since the 1986 World Cup when they defeated Norway 2-1 on Sunday for a 3-1 aggregate victory in their Euro 2016 play-off.
Tamas Priskin scored the opening goal of the game with a spectacular 14th-minute strike before an own-goal from Markus Henriksen seven minutes from time gave Hungary a place in the finals in France next summer. Henriksen then scored at the other end in the 88th minute to make up for his error but it was too little, too late for Norway, whose last appearance at the Euros was back in 2000.
