Hugo Lloris and France were held to a 1-1 draw by Hungary in Euro 2020 on Saturday.
Played in front of a packed Puskas Arena - where we played in the Europa League against Wolfsberger AC last season - the hosts took the lead through Attila Fiola just before the break.
However skipper Hugo, earning his 127th cap, helped Les Bleus get back on terms when he spotted a two versus two situation and his long clearance led to Kylian Mbappe setting up Antoine Griezmann for the equaliser.
France still top a wide open Group F and play Portugal in a cracker on Wednesday (8pm) as the reigning European and world champions meet back in Budapest. Germany face Hungary at the same time in Munich.
It was a frustrating night on Friday for Harry Kane and England as the Three Lions were held to a goalless draw by Scotland.
Earning cap 56, chances were few and far between for skipper Harry, who had one goalbound shot blocked in the second half before being substituted on 74 minutes. The Czech Republic top Group D on goal difference from England and the pair meet at Wembley on Tuesday evening (8pm). Scotland face Croatia.
From Euro 2020 to the Copa America, and Davinson Sanchez and Giovani Lo Celso have been in action for Colombia and Argentina in the last 48 hours.
Davinson (cap 36) was back in the starting line-up and played a full shift for Colombia as they faced Venezuela in their second match of Group A late on Thursday night. He didn't have much to do defensively as it somehow ended 0-0 in Goiania, Brazil. Colombia had 23 efforts at goal to Venezuela's two, but couldn't find a way past Wuilker Farinez. Colombia are second behind hosts Brazil after two games and next face Peru on Monday.
Gio (cap 26) started and played 52 minutes as Argentina beat Uruguay 1-0 in Group B in Brasilia on Friday night. Guido Rodriguez of Real Betis scored the only goal on 13 minutes. Argentina top the group and face Paraguay next on Tuesday.
