Fülöp died of cancer on 12 November 2015 , aged 32 . On the day of his death , Hungarian internationals , wearing black armbands , won 1 – 0 away to the heavily favoured Norway team in the first leg of their UEFA Euro 2016 qualifying play-off game . Hungarian goalkeeper Gábor Király , who celebrated his 100th international appearance and was rated as the best player of the match , said afterwards : " We simply could not afford to concede any goals on this match , out of respect to him " . When with only two minutes remaining from the game , Norway 's Pål André Helland headed a rebounding ball against the crossbar with an open goal gaping , Hungarian commentator István Hajdú B. remarked : " This was probably tipped to the bar by Márton Fülöp ... this was a helping hand from the sky " . Three days later the rematch in Budapest started with a minute 's silence in the memory of him ( as well as former Golden Team member Pál Várhidi and the victims of the Paris terror attacks ) . Hungary beat Norway 2 – 1 , and qualified for the Euros after 44 years , reaching a major international competition for the first time since the 1986 World Cup . Several players commemorated Fülöp in their post match interviews , including goalscorer Tamás Priskin who paid tribute by dedicating his goal to his late teammate
