The Hungarian team, playing at home, secured a dominant 5-0 victory. Hence, they will progress if they win, draw, or lose by up to four goals. TNS needs a win by at least six goals to turn the tide. A five-goal victory for the Welsh team would lead to an additional 30-minute extra time and, if necessary, a penalty shootout.
