Former Town Striker Priskin Nets Stunner to Help Hungary Reach Euros - Ipswich Town News
Former Blues striker Tamás Priskin scored a stunning goal to help Hungary beat Norway 2-1 on the night and 3-1 on aggregate to secure a place at Euro 2016.
Hungary, whose players again wore black armbands in tribute to Priskin’s Town team-mate Márton Fülöp who died on Thursday, were already a goal in front from the away leg when the 29-year-old, who these days plays for Slovan Bratislava in Slovakia, cut in from the left and smashed home in the 14th minute.
Markus Henriksen’s own goal made it 2-0 on the night and 3-0 overall in the 83rd minute before the midfielder pulled one back for Norway with three minutes remaining.
The result ended Blues full-back Jonny Parr's hopes of reaching Euro 2016 and sees Hungary reach the finals of a major tournament for the first time since 1986.
