Hungary kept their UEFA Euro 2024 hopes alive with a thrilling 1-0 victory over Scotland, ending an eight-match winless streak in the tournament. Kevin Csoboth’s goal deep into stoppage time shattered Scottish hearts and secured Hungary’s place in the knockout stage contention, while eliminating Scotland from the competition.

The match started with tension on both sides, exemplified by the captains Andrew Robertson and Dominik Szoboszlai’s intense handshakes. Hungary strategically allowed Scotland to dominate possession, holding 77% by the 25-minute mark, but the Scots failed to capitalize, not registering a single shot on target in the first half. Hungary almost took the lead before the break when Willi Orbán missed a close-range header from Szoboszlai’s pinpoint free-kick.

As news filtered through of Switzerland leading against Germany, Scotland’s Tartan Army roared louder, aware that only a win could keep their Euro hopes alive. However, Hungary’s disciplined defense stifled Scotland’s attacking efforts, with frustration boiling over as Scott McTominay received a yellow card, ruling him out of any potential Round of 16 appearance.

A significant collision between Barnabás Varga and Scotland’s goalkeeper Angus Gunn led to a lengthy delay, with Varga stretchered off. Despite the stoppage, Hungary pressed on, with Szoboszlai nearly breaking the deadlock. In the dying seconds, a counter-attack culminated in Csoboth’s decisive goal, sending Hungarian fans into jubilation and condemning Scotland to a disheartening exit from the tournament.

Meanwhile, in Frankfurt, Germany secured the top spot in Group A after a 1-1 draw with Switzerland. Having already qualified for the knockout stages, Germany faced a tactically disciplined Swiss side who took the lead through Dan Ndoye in the 30th minute. Germany, struggling to break down Switzerland’s defense, saw their equalizer ruled out for a foul, before mounting a relentless second-half attack.

Niclas Füllkrug rescued Germany with a 92nd-minute equalizer, heading home David Raum’s cross to seal top spot in the group. Despite Switzerland’s resilient performance, they finished as runners-up, both teams advancing to the knockout stages, extending their unbeaten runs and setting up promising prospects for the next round.
