Matt Phillips kick-started Alex McLeish's second Scotland reign as his first international goal sealed a 1-0 friendly victory over Hungary. Skipper Charlie Mulgrew earlier had a penalty saved as Scotland produced an encouraging performance in Budapest, although Allan McGregor made several good saves for the visitors. Scotland started at a good tempo but slack play from their own throw-in allowed Balazs Dzsudzsak the first shot at goal. Forrest had a weak effort saved after robbing a defender and McGinn had a strike blocked after clever play from McGregor. Scotland took the lead inside three minutes of the restart when Phillips met Fraser's cross and fired home first time from eight yards.
