Goals from Ádám Présinger, Vladimir Koman, Zsolt Korcsmár gave Hungary a winning start in qualifying for the 2011 UEFA European Under-21 Championship as they overcame Luxembourg 3-0.
Comfortable win
The victory moves Hungary into second place in Group 3, behind Wales who have four points from two games, both against Luxembourg. Following a nervous start, the hosts took the lead in Gyor after 14 minutes as Présinger stabbed in from close range when Korcsmár's header had been cleared off the line. Hungary were two up by the break as Koman redirected Attila Filkor's long-range effort and, after dominating the second half, Korcsmár completed the scoring for Nico van Buuren's team nodding in with 18 minutes remaining after a fine cross from András Debreceni.
