BUDAPEST (Reuters) - Hungary's Euro 2020 participation came down to a supercharged moment last November, when they beat Iceland to secure the last spot in the 24-nation finals thanks to a last-second goal by 20-year-old Dominik Szoboszlai.

Iceland had taken an early lead and Hungary did not equalise until the 88th minute in what Szoboszlai, one of the most promising young talents in Europe, expected to be the "match of my life".
