Sporting Kansas City defender Botond Barath (pictured top row center) started for the Hungary Men's National Team on Friday in the inaugural match at world-class Puskas Arena in Budapest, Hungary. The center back logged 72 minutes in a 2-1 friendly defeat to South American giants Uruguay, collecting the 10th cap of his senior international career.
A festive atmosphere at the new, 67,889-seat stadium set the stage for an exciting matchup that produced all three goals inside the first 24 minutes. Paris Saint-Germain striker Edinson Cavani fired the visitors ahead in the 15th minute and LAFC winger Brian Rodriguez doubled Uruguay's advantage shortly thereafter, but the hosts responded quickly as Adam Szalai pulled a goal back to make the score 2-1.
