Dominik Szoboszlai’s Hungary claimed a 1-0 victory over Andy Robertson’s Scotland at Euro 2024 on Sunday night.
The Liverpool pair each captained their country in the Group A game in Stuttgart, which was settled by a Kevin Csoboth goal 10 minutes into added time.
During a goalless first half, Hungary came closest to breaking the deadlock when Szoboszlai’s disguised, dinked free-kick was headed against the crossbar by Willi Orban.
The second period appeared to be passing by without a mark on the scoresheet, too, and was overshadowed by a collision that saw Hungary’s Barnabas Varga stretchered off and taken to hospital
Szoboszlai was denied a goal a minute into added time when his effort from inside the area was saved, moments before teammate Csoboth struck the post.
Scotland’s Grant Hanley was thwarted at the other end, but in the last minute of the contest a counter-attack involving Szoboszlai was finished off by Csoboth to win it.
The result means Hungary finish third in the group and must wait to see if their total of three points is enough to qualify for the last 16, while Scotland are eliminated.
