USSR v Hungary, 28 September 1958

Kick Off: 7:00pm local This was the first-ever match to be played in the history of the European Championships. The tournament's first ever goal is often erroneously credited to Republic of Ireland's Liam Tuohy, who scored the opener in the first leg of the preliminary tie against Czechoslovakia. However, that game was held over six months after the first leg of the USSR-Hungary match.
