The third edition of the UEFA Nations League continued Saturday in cities all over Europe, with featured matches broadcast across the FOX Sports family of networks (and streamed on the FOX Sports app).
Kicking things off is Hungary taking on England at Puskas Arena in Budapest, followed by a thrilling matchup between Italy and Germany at Stadio Renato Dall’Ara in Bologna, Italy on FS2.
Here are the top plays.
Hungary vs. England (League A)
What a chance!
Hungary was the team who began the affair on the offensive. The squad created a wonderful opportunity to score in the 11th minute after a deft cross on an early run.
But English goalie Jordan Pickford and a defender tag-teamed to come up with a clutch deflection, parrying the ball off-course to prevent the goal.
Picking ’em off
Pickford kept his shutout intact with another nifty stop in minute 28.
He avoided trouble with a little serendipity after a Hungarian attempt from midfield sailed just wide.
Hard work pays off
Hungary’s aggressive approach netted it multiple opportunities, and in the 63rd minute, a blazing run from its left wing forced England to commit a penalty inside the box. Dominik Szoboszlai buried the ensuing punt to put Hungary up 1-0.

35 and counting
Action wasn’t plentiful in the early onsets of this League B matchup, but Finland ignited itself late in the first half after earning a penalty kick, and converting. Teemu Pukki fooled the goalkeeper on the PK, going bottom left with his attempt to swing momentum in his team’s direction ahead of halftime. The goal marked Pukki’s 35th in international play.
