The Tartan Army and its fans, a folkloristic note of this European Championship, go home, Hungary hopes thanks to a goal in the 100th minute of a rather boring match. The match was decided by the Argentine referee Tello, who at the stroke of 90 minutes allowed ten minutes of injury time, probably due to an injury to Varga, in whose place Adam, one of the most ‘viral’ players of Euro ’24, had come on. due to his size, he had wasted a lot of time. So in the 55th minute of the second half came the sentence that still keeps the Hungarians alive, namely the goal by Csoboth, who came on in the 41st minute in place of the evanescent Bolla and who had the merit of completing a counterattack in the best possible way .
Now Marco Rossi and his team, including the President’s namesake Orban who was too foul this evening too, all that remains is to wait for the verdicts of the other groups to understand if it is possible to move forward thanks to a placement among the best thirds. But the goal difference of -3 does not fuel excessive hopes, which however are the last to die.
Up until the moment of the decisive goal there had been a match in which the two teams had studied each other for a long time, and in which the lack of precision on both sides had predominated. Orban himself had made himself dangerous on one occasion by chipping the crossbar, following a cross from Szoboszlai, while on the Scottish side there was a conclusion from McGinn. Szoboszlai had his own chance in the second half, but Gunn saved. On the Scottish side, they ran and little else, and until the stoppage time that would decide the match the only real highlight was the injury to the Hungarian striker Varga, who for a moment made things worse before the player came off, getting away with it in the end with a bump on his head.
