Hungary defeated Scotland 1-0 after a unique drama in the final match of Group “A” of Euro 2024. The goal came deep into stoppage time, when Csoboth (100′) was the big hero for Hungary.
The match was marked by an extremely unpleasant incident, in which Varga lost consciousness after a collision with goalkeeper Gunn in the penalty area and had to be carried off on a stretcher.
With the win, Hungary earned their first 3 points in the group and will hope to become one of the 4 third-placed teams that will sneak into the next phase.
Scotland is certainly out of the running with their 1 point, and after the draw between Germany and Switzerland, the two teams move on. The “Magyars” will wait for the developments in the other groups.
The first half was evenly matched, with almost no scoring opportunities. Hungary had more of the ball, but were unable to capitalize on this advantage.
The second half started more actively for Hungary, but a serious injury to Barnabas Varga in the 70th minute interrupted the game for some time. The Ferencvaros player collided with Scotland goalkeeper Angus Gunn and fell to the ground. The game was interrupted and medical staff entered the pitch. Varga was carried off the field on a stretcher, and his condition worried everyone.
After the game resumed, Hungary continued to search for the goal. In the 90th minute, Kevin Csoboth missed a great opportunity, hitting the right post of the Scotland goal.
In the end, the “Magyars” came to victory in the tenth minute of added time. Roland Sallai crossed into the penalty area for Kevin Csoboth, who scored with a cool-headed shot.
This victory earns Hungary three points, which put them in third place in the group. The Hungarians will have to wait for the final standings in the other groups to see if they will continue their participation in the knockout stages.
Scotland is out of Euro 2024 after failing to win a single match in the group. This is the first time the islanders have not won a match at a major tournament since 1996.
The match was marked by drama, emotions and a lot of tension. Hungary snatched victory at the last moment, and Varga’s injury overshadowed the joy of success.
