Storck: "Norway are still the favourites"

Hungary manager Bernd Storck has claimed that Norway are still favourites to qualify for Euro 2016, despite his side's victory in Oslo in the first leg of their playoff.

A goal from Laszlo Kleinheisler saw the Hungarians claim a 1-0 win on Thursday evening, with the clubs set to meet again in Budapest on Sunday.

"Norway are still the favourites," Storck told reporters. "Norway have very good players. We need to play like we did [on Thursday] or we will have problems.

"We are in a good position. We did a good job for Hungarian football. But it must be remembered that a very long 90 minutes is waiting for us on Sunday.

"The recent victory was a great success, but in the home game we need to focus. The key to success was the team's attitude, they are good performers. Zoltan Gera for example played well. I'm sad that we cannot count on it in the return."

Hungary have not qualified for a major tournament since the 1986 World Cup.
