Austria 0 Hungary 0: Chants of "ole" ring around the ground as Hungary string a long run of passes together. It comes to nothing though. Not much end product from either side at the moment.

Austria 0 Hungary 0: The referee now having a word with Arnautovic. We can only hope it's about his terrible hairstyle.

Austria 0 Hungary 0: Suddenly this game has become a bit chaotic, tackles flying in everywhere. Not much actually happening near the goals though which is a bit of a shame. Free kick to Austria though. What can David Alaba do?

Austria 0 Hungary 0: Smash it straight at the wall apparently. One of the tricks he must have picked up at Bayern Munich.
