JAKARTA - Hungarian midfielder Laszlo Kleinheisler was named the 'star of the match' or the best player in the Group F match between Hungary and France at the Puskas Arena, Budapest, Saturday night, 19 June.
The match ended in a 1-1 draw after Hungary took a surprising lead through Atilla Fiola's goal in first-half injury time, but France's Antoine Griezmann equalized in the 66th minute.
"He defended very well and was good in transition," said UEFA technical analyst Corinne Diacre while presenting the player of the year trophy, as reported by the UEFA website.
Kleinheisler is the 20th player to be awarded the award, while Belgian striker Romelu Lukaku and Dutch defender Denzel Dumfries are the two players to receive the award twice.
Meanwhile, commenting on the draw for world champions France, former Les Bleus star Bixente Lizarazu mocked his country's performance as 'very ordinary'.
"That was a very ordinary French performance. Credit to the Hungarian team's performance," said the player who helped lead France to win Euro 2000.
"France were lucky to bounce back but not enough to threaten. Congratulations to Hungary," he concluded.
