Dominik Szoboszlai could barely bring himself to speak after his World Cup dream was cruelly shattered following Hungary's dramatic defeat to the Republic of Ireland. The Liverpool midfielder and his teammate Milos Kerkez were denied a place in the play-offs for next year's tournament in the most devastating of circumstances in Budapest, with the visitors scoring in stoppage time to steal second place in their qualifying group.

Both Szoboszlai and Kerkez had provided assists earlier in the game as Hungary looked set to cling on to a spot in the play-offs, even after Troy Parrott had brought the scores back level with just 10 minutes remaining. Szoboszlai could be seen in tears after the game, with the Hungary captain unable to hide his emotions as he acknowledged supporters after the game.
