Hungary 2 Germany 5

First Published: Aug 15, 2001

Hungary's centenary celebrations in Budapest provoked visitors Germany to crash five goals past the home team.

Germany also conceded twice in an entertaining game but their superior strike power gave them a win in the celebration match for 100 years of the Hungarian federation - a repeat of the 1954 World Cup final.

A penalty from Schalke 04 striker Jurgen Bohme gave Germany the lead and Sebastian Kuhl hit the second in the 41st minute with a right foot volley.

Carsten Jancker, Frank Baumann and Oliver Bierhoff all reached cross to score from close range for Germany with Attila Tokoli hitting a low drive in response before putting Ferenc Horvath clear for a neat finish.
