Gylfi Sigurdsson’s 40th minute penalty had put plucky Iceland on course for victory – and perhaps in sight of a place in the last 16 – in a tight Group F clash in Marseille.
But Hungary had dominated possession throughout against an Iceland side content to defend and the pressure finally told in the 88th minute as Saevarsson turned a Nemanja Nikolic cross into his own net.
That sparked jubilant celebrations in the crowd at the Stade Velodrome with fireworks, as has become common in the tournament, again being set off.
