The English footballers lost in the opening match of the elite group A3 of the League of Nations in Hungary 0: 1. Dominik Szoboszlai struck a 30 meter free kick home 66 minutes into the match.
Around 40,000 accompanied children came to the match in Budapest, although the European Football Union UEFA ordered domestic supporters for racism at last year’s European Championships to play two matches without spectators.
According to the AFP agency, the Hungarian Football Association used the exceptions for organized children’s groups in the UEFA rules, just like last September in Prague’s Sparta in the duel of the basic group of the European League against the Rangers in Glasgow.
After the anthems of both countries, the players of England knelt in support of the fight against racism, for which the Hungarian spectators booed them.
In Group B, Finland drew Bosnia and Herzegovina 1: 1 after guests leveled at the Olympic Stadium in Helsinki in a setting. Armenia also beat Ireland 1-0.
