The second is that they all ended up on the losing side. Coincidence or a curse? You decide. Hungary and Serbia have qualified for the FIFA U-20 World Cup New Zealand 2015 on Friday, joining Portugal, Austria, Germany and Ukraine as Europe's entrants into the competition, which were determined by the ongoing UEFA European Under-19 Championship.
Hungary booked their ticket to New Zealand after beating Israel 2-1 in Budapest. The win sees the hosts finish third, with Portugal topping the group ahead of Austria, while Israel end the competition in fourth.
The game's three goals came within 14 first-half minutes, Dor Hugy's 36th-minute strike for Israel was sandwiched between Zsolt Kalmar and Norbert Balogh 25th and 39th-minute finishes in what was a frenetic first 45 minutes.
