Bengaluru, June 24: Germany survived a big scare before holding Hungary 2-2 in their last Group F encounter of Euro 2020 to enter the round-of-16, where they will take on England.

Adam Szalai, who has plied his trade mostly in Bundesliga, gave Hungary an early lead at the Allianz Arena in Munich after 11 minutes to leave Germany facing an early exit.

There was a brief reprieve when Kai Havertz scored a 66th-minute header, but just 91sec later Joachim Low's men were caught napping and Andras Schafer took full advantage in restoring Hungary's lead.

Leon Goretzka then saved Germany the blushes with a late equaliser in the 84th minute to sent Hungary out.

With OPTA inputs, myKhel.com breaks down the statistical highlights from the match.

● Hungary have been eliminated in four of their last five major tournament group stage participations (World Cup/EUROs).

● Germany are one of only four sides to concede first in all three of their group stage games at EURO 2020, after Turkey, North Macedonia and Poland.

● There were just 90sec between Havertz equalising for Germany in the 66th minute and Schafer restoring Hungary's lead in the 68th.

● Aged 22 years and 12 days, Havertz became the fourth-youngest player to score in back-to-back major tournament appearances for Germany (World Cup/EUROs), after Thomas Muller (20-years-old in 2010), Franz Beckenbauer (20 in 1966) and Lukas Podolski (21 in 2006).

● Aged 18 years and 117 days, Jamal Musiala became the youngest ever player to make an appearance for the German national team at a major tournament.
