Scotland again suffered a dramatic defeat. This time from Hungary with a score of 1 – 0 for Hungary in Euro 2024. Hungary even scored in the 100th minute, which no one expected.
PLAYER OF THE MATCH – ROLAND SALLAI (HUNGARY)
The Hungary striker has been one of the most dangerous players in a game that has long been devoid of creativity and spark. Then, when it mattered most, he took the deciding break and kept his cool to beat Chobot for the winner.

MATCH HIGHLIGHTS
42′ – HUNGARY hit the crossbar! This time Soboslai opts to take a cross to the back post instead of shooting and catches the Scottish defence, finding Orban at the back post to head wide and wide. However, he may have been offside.
68′ – VARGA RECEIVES MEDICAL AID This really doesn’t look good. Gunn is back on his feet, and there is a potential VAR penalty check. But more worrying is the health of the Hungarian Varga, who is clearly seriously worried about his teammates. A blanket is lifted to protect him while he is treated and a stretcher is placed on the stretcher.
79′ – SCOTTISH PENALTY! After a cross, Armstrong enters the box and after a fight with a defender hits the deck. A huge shout for the penalty, but they shake it off!
92′ – HUNGARY hit the post! Scotland is hanging on by its nails! They are wide open and Chobot only has a keeper to beat but his shot across goal hits the far post!
99′ – GREAT SCOTTISH CHANCE! But it falls on the wrong man! The ball breaks out to the big Henley in the box and he tries to put it in from 14 yards, but it’s straight at the keeper!
100′ – GOAL! Scotland 0-1 Hungary (Csoboth): Unbelievable! Hungary break away from a Scotland corner and score the winner with the last kick of the game. This is a bigger tournament pain for Scotland. Chobot is the man with the winner, firing into the corner from 12 yards.
