Portugal vs Austria, the final game of the day, kicks off in just under an hour and you can follow it live here.
This match got underway as normal earlier, but there were some ugly scenes as Hungary fans clashed with stewards and riot police ahead of kick-off. Here's our report.
Gabor Kiraly comes out to collect a corner but drops it and can't gather at the second attempt. Gunnarsson bundles his way onto it but goes down under pressure from Tamas Kadar. It looked soft, but the referee has immediately pointed to the spot. Up steps Sigurdsson, who sends Kiraly the wrong way to put his side in front!
Just five minutes until kick off; both teams are on their way out onto the pitch. Time for the national anthems.
That trouble between Hungary fans and stewards seems to have died down as quickly as it started. There has been no mention of it during the build-up to kick-off despite a few Hungary fans being restrained by riot police.
Attila Fiola picked up an ankle injury in the win over Austria and has not recovered in time for this evening's match. Adam Lang replaces him. Up front, Tamar Priskin comes into replace Adam Szalai, despite the latter ending an 18-month goal drought in that win.
Zoltan Stieber sealed it with that delightful dink after coming off the bench. It earns him a start tonight tonight, replacing one-time Liverpool youngster Krisztian Nemeth.
Hungary can qualify for the knock-out stages of this competition with victory tonight before their final group game against Portugal next week.
But there has been a bit of trouble in the stands at the Stade Veledrome ahead of kick off. Hungary fans, trying to move around the stadium to position themselves behind the rest of their support, attempted to climb over fences to reach them and were stopped by stewards. Pictures show the fans being sprayed with gas.
That didn't go down particularly well with the Iceland camp with defender Kari Arnason immediately responding in quite brilliant fashion.
It makes it even sweeter when he's a sore loser like that. " mean, he can say whatever he wants. He didn't really get a chance today, he got one and he couldn't put it away. What can I say? Sore loser. Tough s**t.
"He had a header in the final minutes of the game and a chance in the first half but otherwise I thought we had him under control. We didn't set up to man-mark him or anything, we just had to know where he was at any given moment and that he will shoot from outside the box and that everything has to be blocked.
Practically everyone was celebrating Iceland's draw with Portugal. Most people, anyway. Cristiano Ronaldo went full troll when he accused the nation of 330,000 of over celebrating their draw.
Iceland didn't try anything," Ronaldo told reporters post-match, the Guardian reports. "They were just defend, defend, defend and playing on the counterattack. It was a lucky night for them. We should have three points but we are OK.
"I thought they'd won the Euros the way they celebrated at the end. It was unbelievable. When they don't try to play and just defend, defend, defend, this in my opinion shows a small mentality and they are not going to do anything in the competition.
Elsewhere today, Belgium have thrashed the Republic of Ireland to kickstart their Euro 2016 campaign. Goals from Axel Witsel and two from Romelu Lukaku sealed the win that leaves Irish hopes of qualification to the knockout stages in real jeopardy.

It's probably fair to say Iceland are everyone's second favourite team in Euro 2016 now. In their first ever appearance in a major international competition, a country with a population of just 333,000 held their own against Portugal, taking a priceless point.
The fallout of the match saw Cristiano Ronaldo make a bit of a fool of himself, only endearing the tournament newcomers even more to the neutrals. Having enjoyed a hugely impressive qualifying campaign however, they didn't quite take the title of the most unfancied side in this summer's competition. That honour goes to Hungary, who provided the shock of the tournament so far when they triumphed over the football hipster's favourite Austria.
The two clash today with automatic qualification for the knockout stages a real possibility. Kick off follows at 5pm, stick with us for all the build-up and team news.
