Dzsudzsak goal gives Hungary win in Helsinki

After a goalless first half, Adam Szalai silenced the home crowd in the 50th minute as the Hungarians snapped up a loose ball and went on the counter-attack.

Finland goalkeeper Jussi Jaaskelainen, who had come out of international retirement at the request of coach Stuart Baxter, rushed out of his goal but Szalai rounded him easily to roll the ball home.

It was Finland's third defeat in as many games and they sit alongside San Marino with no points at the foot of the table. Hungary's campaign is much healthier with three wins from four games.
