Croatia and Hungary march onwards

Croatia defeated Hungary 2-1 on the final day of action in UEFA European Under-17 Championship qualifying round Group 7 to top the section and book an elite round place along with their opponents, with Israel left waiting to see if they will join them.

Full results and standings

• Croatia opened with an 8-1 defeat of Kazakhstan, three players scoring twice including Davor Lovren, younger brother of Dejan.
• Attila Szalai converted a 26th-minute penalty to ensure hosts Hungary defeated Israel 1-0 in their first match.
• Hungary booked progress two days later as they beat Kazakhstan 1-0 with an own goal against opponents who ended down to ten men.
• Croatia were thwarted in their attempt to join Hungary on matchday two as they drew 0-0 with Israel.
• Croatia dominated and Israel had Wael Najjar sent off in added time.
•  Hungary needed just a point against Croatia to win the group but fell behind to a Lovren strike and were undone by Luka Pasariček's 68th-minute winner after Bence Szabó had equalised.
• That result ended Israel's hopes of finishing in the top two, despite Liron Glat's charges signing off by beating Kazakhstan 6-0.
• Israel will be hoping they can still advance as one of the five third-placed teams with the best record against the leading pair in their section.
