Striker Krisztian Nemeth said on Wednesday (15th June) that Hungary's 2-0 win over Austria was like a dream and that Iceland, not Portugal, are their most difficult rivals as they try to qualify for the Euro 2016 knockout stages.

SOUNDBITE: (Hungarian) Krisztian Nemeth, Hungary striker (on Zoltan Stieber's goal which made it 2-0 against Austria):

"My team-mate seated next to me still can't believe it happened. That he scored such a goal. So I would like to congratulate him. The whole story was like a dream. The preparation was very good and we were aware of that as we went on the pitch. And we knew that if we started the way we had intended we wouldn't have problems. The supporters were fantastic throughout the game. We worked together and helped each other out and made almost no mistakes. And if there was a small mistake Gabor (Kiraly) corrected it. So it was close to a perfect match."

SOUNDBITE: (Hungarian) Krisztian Nemeth, Hungary striker:

"We are happy that we are currently at the top of our group. Of course we know it has only been one game so far, so you shouldn't draw to any conclusions from it. But right now it feels good to look at the table. I think we have surprised many with this victory. But of course we believe in ourselves and we hope that we can cause further surprises and achieve more victories."
