Gavin Bazunu 7 - Stunning, flying save to deny Adam Szalai before Kelleher replaced him at the break.
Shane Duffy 8 - Back to his old no-nonsense self and almost connected with a McClean cross at the near post
John Egan 7 - Stand-in skipper for second game running and smashed the bar with a header early on
Dara O'Shea 7 - Solid night’s work and wasn’t afraid to carry the ball over halfway and launch attacks
Matt Doherty 6 - Good distribution but was unable to get forward and attack Hungary like he can
Jason Knight 6 - Advanced central role this time before moving wide on the hour but put in another shift
Josh Cullen 6 - Teed up Egan for his early chance and linked the play without dominating midfield
Conor Hourihane 6 - Important clearance to thwart Kecskes but influence waned and subbed
James McClean 7 - Great attitude and crossing was top notch before tiring in the dying stages
Troy Parrott 5 - Goal hero against Andorra but very little fell his way here and was subbed off
Adam Idah 7 - Shook off an early injury and forced a good save with a second-half shot. A handful
