BUDAPEST, Aug. 31 (Xinhua) -- Hungary defeated Latvia 3-1 in the 2018 World Cup qualifier here on Thursday.
Bernd Storck's squad took the lead with Tamas Kadar's header in the sixth minute, and twenty minutes later Adam Szalai - also with a header - doubled the lead.
Just before the break, Gints Freimanis punished a fault by Mihaly Korhut. The result was set in the middle of the second half with a Latvian own-goal.
This was the Hungarian team's sixth victory against Latvia in the past seven games.
The Hungarians who are still in third place of group B will host European champions Portugal on Sunday.
