In a dramatic turn of events at the Euro 2024 group stage, Hungary clinched a nail-biting 1-0 victory over Scotland, keeping their quarterfinals hopes alive. The crucial goal came from Kevin Csoboth in the 90+10th minute. However, the match was marred by a serious injury to Hungarian striker Barnabás Varga, who was knocked unconscious after a collision with Scotland’s goalkeeper Angus Gunn. Varga was carried off on a stretcher and taken to a hospital where he was later reported to be stable but still a cause for deep concern within the Hungarian camp.Despite the distressing incident, the match continued, and Hungary’s persistence was rewarded when Csoboth’s late goal extinguished Scotland’s last hope of progressing in the tournament. Hungary’s chances of advancing now hang in the balance as they await the outcomes of other group matches to determine if they will proceed as one of the four best third-placed teams. The Hungarian team, led by coach Marco Rossi, is rallying around their injured teammate, with players wearing black armbands as a sign of solidarity. Scotland’s exit from the tournament was cemented by the defeat, as they were unable to secure the needed points to move forward.
