By Ed Osmond MARSEILLE, France (Reuters) - Iceland were within two minutes of their first victory at a major tournament when defender Birkir Saevarsson's late own goal earned Hungary a battling 1-1 draw at Euro 2016 on Saturday. Gylfi Sigurdsson's nerveless penalty just before halftime had looked set to lift Iceland top of the Group F standings but Saevarsson turned in a cross by Hungarian substitute Nemanja Nikolic two minutes from the end of a match short on quality. Hungary top the standings with four points, two ahead of Iceland and three clear of Portugal, who play bottom side Austria later on Saturday.
