Maestro. Toni Kroos was close to equaling the European Championship record in match against Hungary
The German national team confidently defeated Hungary in the second round of Group A. The German side secured a 2-0 victory thanks to goals from Jamal Musiala and Ilkay Gündoğan.
One of the key players in this match was Toni Kroos, despite his name not appearing on the scoreboard.
According to OptaJose, the experienced midfielder successfully completed 124 passes in Germany's victorious match, which is the second-highest number for midfielders in UEFA European Championship matches.
In terms of passes, Toni trailed only Xavi, who made 127 successful passes for Spain against Ireland in Euro 2012.
