Hungary coach offers free tickets after loss

-

The coach of Hungary’s national soccer team is offering free tickets to a pair of World Cup qualifiers to fans who attended the team’s 1-0 loss in Andorra last week. Bernd Storck said Friday his propositio­n was meant to win back support of angry fans after one of Hungary’s worst losses. After the match, Hungarian fans chanted for players to remove their jerseys because of the embarrassi­ng performanc­e, and they complied. Andorra had not won a World Cup qualifier in 13 years, mired in a 66-match winless streak in official competitio­ns.
