Julen Lopetegui named a strong line-up for Monday’s opening summer fixture at their Austrian training camp in Kitzbühel.

But the Hungarian outfit produced two first-half goals with Owusu Kwabena opening the scoring before Aleksandar Pešić doubled their tally.

Danny Ings halved the much-changed Hammers’ deficit with a well-struck free kick just three minutes into the second half.

Nayef Aguerd levelled shortly before the final whistle to ensure honours that ended even for Lopetegui’s side.

West Ham take on Dagenham & Redbridge in their next pre-season fixture before facing Premier League opposition in Wolves and Crystal Palace.
