Scotland v Hungary LIVE: Updates as game resumes after Barnabas Varga stretched off following horror collision



Andy Robertson satisfied with improved Scotland performance

Scotland could be on the brink of history at Euro 2024 as they wait to face Hungary in the final round of group games in Group A.

SURE ODDS BANNER

Steve Clarke’s side know a win would take them to four points, and with the four best-performing third-placed teams qualifying for the last 16, victory against Hungary may well be enough to secure a place in the round of 16.

Hungary, who sit bottom of Group A on zero points, know themselves that a win would give them a slim chance of making the next round, despite bruising defeats to Switzerland and hosts Germany.

So, with both teams knowing that nothing but a win will do, expect fireworks in Stuttgart as both sides look to stake their claim to a place in the last 16 at Euro 2024.

Follow the score and all the latest updates from Scotland v Hungary below – plus the key events and reaction to Germany v Switzerland in the other game in Group A:

1719176076

90+7’ – Scotland 0-0 Hungary

Scotland trying to whack it forward now and just hoping it falls to someone. Hungary’s counters are a little more numerous, an little more dangerous and certainly they’ve gone closer with two efforts against the woodwork. But will either team find a way through?

It’s full time in the other game – Germany win the group after that late 1-1 draw.

On we go in Stuttgart and a ball down the right finds Christie crossing to McTominay – and he pokes over the bar! Then the offside flag goes up anyway. Three minutes to go.

90+4’ – Scotland 0-0 Hungary

McGregor finally takes a shot – a rifled effort which is blocked. The next cross is aimed to Shankland but it’s overhit and he can’t keep it in play.

A VERY late goal in the other game – Fullkrug has headed in his second of the tournament, Germany 1-1 Switzerland, the hosts back to the top of Group A!

90’ – Scotland 0-0 Hungary

We have hit the 90 mark. Scotland have still had precisely one shot all match long. This is dreadful stuff – forget any notion that substitutions and a shift in formation from Steve Clarke late in this game is “going for it” – they simply haven’t got anywhere close to having a go, let alone getting the goal they need.

Hungary start it with two shots on goal, the second by Szoboszlai which is well-saved by Gunn – then Csoboth shots across the face of goal and strikes the post!

88’ – Scotland 0-0 Hungary

Switzerland have had another goal chalked off – this one a comfortable offside decision. They still lead 1-0 and are still topping the group as it stands.

Csoboth and Nagy on in another pair of Hungary changes. Hanley gets a bit of treatment for a cut on his head. We’re going to surely be approaching ten minutes added on when we hit the 90 mark.

Lewis Morgan comes on for Robertson.

84’ – Scotland 0-0 Hungary

Gilmour feeds Shankland through the right channel and his snapshot is spilled by Gulacsi, but the offside flag goes up.

Double sub with seven to play of the 90: McLean and Christie for Ralston and Gilmour.

Scotland finally go to a four at the back. Not exactly going for broke but they simply have to get bodies forward and balls into the final third now. Hungary do too, but they look still content to swing over wide crosses.

80’ – Scotland 0-0 Hungary

Scotland furious – they want a penalty, referee says absolutely not.

A through pass set Armstrong behind the defender and there was a tangle of legs, both of them going to ground, but no foul says the Argentinian official.

Kleinheisler has been booked somewhere along the way for Hungary – he’s sub so maybe for the anger towards the officials or medics during that previous incident.

On a replay, it looks somewhat like a foul on Armstrong but it’s not clear and no VAR investigation to say otherwise.

1719174891

76’ – Scotland 0-0 Hungary

Szoboszlai jinks past a couple of tackles in the box and crosses but Scotland get a free-kick for handball.

McGinn off, Armstrong on. And Shankland for Adams – probably 20 minutes or so for the goalscorer to make an impact.

Can they now react and finally be a bit more adventurous? They must score, simple as that. Scotland have just won their first corner of the match.

1719174807

74’ – Scotland 0-0 Hungary

That was a lengthy stoppage but we’re hopeful over Varga – he was stretchered away, still with the blankets around him but there was no sense of urgency precisely as they departed.

In the midst of that there was a VAR check for a possible penalty but not given in the end. Stoppage must have been about seven or eight minutes in the end.

Double sub for Hungary at the end of it – Varga and Dardai off, Adam and Szalai on.

Karl Matchett23 June 2024 21:33

1719174507

70’ – Scotland 0-0 Hungary

Vargas was put straight into the recovery position by some of his teammates and there is a real anger towards the medical staff who were extremely slow coming on, first for the initial treatment and then a second group with a stretcher. One of the players eventually sprints towards them and races back with it in his hands himself.

It’s hard to know what’s going on there as the medics have put a cloth barrier around Vargas while they attend to him.

Karl Matchett23 June 2024 21:28

1719174383

68’ – Scotland 0-0 Hungary

Another Szoboszlai ball into the box sees Gunn come flying out and he clatters through at least two people – Vargas and Ralston are both down, the Hungarian man needing quite severe attention by the looks of things.

Gunn also needing medical treatment.
