Match Report

|
England missed a sackful of goals because of feeble
finishing, but the approach play was an encouraging sign of things to come.
They might easily have had the ball in the Hungarian net at least three times
in the first-half, but the chances were wasted. Florian Albert, Hungary's new
eighteen-year-old centre-forward discovery, scored both goals in the
second-half. Dennis Viollett, Manchester United's quick and clever
inside-forward, won the first of two caps. With better luck, he might have
marked his debut with two goals. It was England's third and final
close-season tour match and though they came home without a victory there was
a feeling of optimism that better things were round the corner.
