Hungary Shocks Scotland With Last-gasp Winner

Hungary revived their hopes of advancing from Group A in the UEFA European Championships with a nail-biting 1-0 victory over Scotland.

The Liverpool captains, Andrew Robertson and Dominik Szoboszlai, set the tone with a respectful handshake before kick-off.

The first half was a gritty affair, Hungary opted to allow their rivals to maintain possession of the ball, leading to an impressive 77% possession for the Scots by the 25-minute mark.

They were unable to force Peter Gulacsi into any real action in the Hungarian net, however, and once again looked short on a goalscorer in a quiet first-half attacking display in which they produced no shots on target.

The game took a physical turn, with tensions rising as the clock ticked towards the hour mark. Scott McTominay’s caution added to Scotland’s woes, ruling him out of the Round of 16 and further complicating their quest for a goal.

Despite their efforts, Scotland’s lack of cutting edge in the final third proved to be their downfall.

A serious-looking collision between Barnabas Varga and Scotland goalkeeper Angus Gunn saw the game stopped for a long period with Varga subsequently stretchered off the field.

Hungary responded with determination, and Szoboszlai came close to breaking the deadlock with a powerful effort that forced Gunn into a crucial save.

The decisive moment came in the tenth minute of stoppage time when Kevin Csoboth’s goal sealed Hungary’s win and shattered Scottish hopes of progression in the tournament.

The Goal secured a vital three points for Hungary and kept their hopes of progression alive.
