Hungarian national team debutants Rajmund Tóth and Ármin Pécsi experienced dream-like moments in their first international appearance, both finding the back of the net. Tóth, visibly emotional, described the experience as something every player dreams of, especially after scoring a goal.
I apologize for stuttering, but I'm still searching for words. Every player dreams of stepping onto the pitch for the national team, and I even managed to score, I don't even know what to say.
"I apologize for stuttering, but I'm still searching for words. Every player dreams of stepping onto the pitch for the national team, and I even managed to score, I don't even know what to say," Tóth stated. He added that he had analyzed how he could contribute to the team even from the bench, and when teammate Tomi Szűcs looked up, he knew what to do. Tóth reflected on his incredible past month, which included winning a championship, making his national team debut, and scoring a goal.
I had analyzed how I could contribute to the team, if I came in. When Szűcs Tomi looked up, I already knew what I had to do. I can't describe what I feel; in the last month, I became champion, I got into the national team, I debuted, and I even scored, it's incredible!
Pécsi, who also debuted in the match, shared his excitement. "This is how I imagined it, I'm glad the team could win because the match started tough. I'm very happy about the debut; I felt like this wasn't a new situation, the environment felt familiar," he said. He noted that he didn't have to intervene much in the game by the time he entered the field. Pécsi also praised a spectacular goal scored by "Schäfi" (likely referring to a teammate), calling it very visually appealing.

Despite the emotional debuts and the team's victory, captain Dominik Szoboszlai was notably absent from post-match interviews with M4 Sport. The reason for his non-appearance was not provided during the broadcast, leaving his absence as a question mark.
He scored an incredible goal, it was very spectacular from the goal.
