It looked like Iceland were heading to the finals next summer when Gylfi Sigurdsson put his side ahead with a free-kick in the first half of Thursday night's play-off.
Substitute Loic Nego gave Hungary hope in the 88th minute, then Szoboszlai stepped up to prove why he's such a highly rated talent.
The 20-year-old picked up the ball in his own half after a heroic goaline clearance from a teammate and drove through the Iceland defence, leaving two defenders in the dust before smashing in a winner from outside the box.
Szoboszlai just casually walked it in, what a day for Hungarian football :flag_hu::flag_hu::flag_hu::flag_hu: pic.twitter.com/pIaWEegLUd

RB Salzburg midfielder Szoboszlai wheeled away in celebration as substitutes and coaching staff spilled onto the Ferenc Puskas Stadium turf.
Szoboszlai has been linked with a move to Premier League outfit Arsenal in recent months and fans on Twitter think he's destined for the top.

Hungary will join France, Germany and Portugal in Group F of Euro 2020.
It means they'll be coming up against Cristiano Ronaldo and an emotional Szoboszlai told UEFA: "When I was a child my dream was to play against [Cristiano] Ronaldo and now next summer I will.
"Dreams do come true. So now I'm just happy."
