In a dramatic finish at the European Championship on Sunday, Hungary dashed Scotland’s hopes of advancing to the knockout stage for the first time ever with a 1-0 victory.
The decisive moment came in the 10th minute of stoppage time when late substitute Kevin Csoboth netted his inaugural international goal, securing Hungary’s third-place finish in Group A behind Germany and Switzerland.
Scotland, seeking their first appearance in the knockout stage of a major tournament, nearly equalized during a tense finale.
Grant Hanley missed a critical opportunity deep into stoppage time.
Hungary now faces a nerve-wracking wait to learn if their three points will suffice to progress to the round of 16 as one of the top four third-place teams.
This uncertainty will persist until the conclusion of the final group matches on Wednesday.
The match was also marked by a severe injury to Barnabas Varga, who had to be stretchered off following a collision during a set-piece.
