In the first round, Hungary made a strong effort, but fell 3-0 after Portugal scored three goals in the final minutes.
After the European champions, the world champions were now waiting for France, in front of 67,000 spectators in a packed arena at home in Budapest.
The French put in a high gear immediately and attacked with Kylian Mbappé and Karim Benzema as offensive weapons at the top.
Hungary in the lead
Chance after chance was burned - and instead the Hungarians were able to break the deadlock just before the half-time break through Attila Fiola.
The waiting winger made his way to the edge, broke into the penalty area and put 1-0 in the front corner in front of wildly cheering compatriots in the stands.
Twenty minutes into the second, however, Antoine Griezmann, from close range, was able to thunder in the equalizer and give the French wind in the sails.
However, there were no more goals and after two rounds, Hungary is on one point and France on four.
Germany and Portugal meet at 18.00.
