Scotland v Hungary LIVE: Latest updates from crucial Euro 2024 clash

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.

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:

HT – Switzerland 1-0 Germany

The hosts behind at the break after Ndoye’s opener. Andrich’s strike was ruled out earlier on.

As it stands, Switzerland are top of Group A, Germany second. Scotland are third but with only two points, which is very unlikely to be enough.

HT – Scotland 0-0 Hungary

Szoboszlai lashes a left-footed shot goalward with the final act of the half but it’s rising and over. And that’s the whistle, half the game over and done with. Half Scotland’s chance to make the last 16 gone.

No real threat from them despite lots of early possession; Hungary have had the odd opening through set pieces but with both teams needing to win it remains Scotland 0-0 Hungary.

45’ – Scotland 0-0 Hungary

Schafer and Hendry both go clattering into a tackle in the middle of the pitch…the Scot wins the ball and the Hungarian earns himself a yellow card – on the replay that’s a pretty cowardly stamp rather than an attempted tackle and the ref has done very well to see that. Third booking for the Magyars tonight.

McKenna rises to try and head goalward from a dinked cross but it’s off his shoulder and easy for Gulacsi.

42’ – Scotland 0-0 Hungary

Orban HAS to score! Szoboszlai dinks his free-kick over the wall and the defence and Orban has run behind – he nods past Gunn from just four or five yards out but it clips the crossbar and bounces over!

Massive chance, best of the game so far for either nation.

Into the final few minutes before the break.

40’ – Scotland 0-0 Hungary

The bagpipes are back out in the stands as the fans attempt to urge Scotland back upfield once more.

Good work between Ralston and Adams but the cross doesn’t sit nicely for McTominay to get a shot in on goal and in the end McGinn’s second cross fades through to the keeper. Adams gives another free-kick away at the other end for a high boot.

Celebrations for Switzerland. All rather attritional between Scotland and Hungary so far.

36’ – Scotland 0-0 Hungary

The last five or ten minutes have definitely swung – more possession from Hungary, more set-piece deliveries from them and most of the game being played in Scotland’s half of the pitch.

Nothing too dramatic yet for Gunn to deal with – Sallai whacks one from range over the bar as if to emphasise that point.

Scotland looking a little uncomfortable now.

32’ – Scotland 0-0 Hungary

It’s central, it’s fairly far out, but it’s definitely in Szoboszlai territory – silly free-kick to give away by Scotland.

The Hungary captain lines it up, alters the ball…and curls it into the wall and over the bar. Good defensive work by McKenna, by the looks of things.

Szoboszlai goes over to take the corner as well and it’s Hanley this time who rises to head clear.

GOAL – Switzerland 1-0 Germany

Goal alert: Switzerland 1-0 Germany – and this one will count! A low cross from the left sees Ndoye race in at the near post and he’s just about onside to rattle home past Neuer. Switzerland top as it stands.

28’ – Scotland 0-0 Hungary

A second yellow card for Hungary, this time it’s Willi Orban who clattered through his man.

Another set piece is poor, this time Gilmour’s, and Hungary’s quick counter ends in a corner, Ralston deflecting Kerkez’s cross behind. Takes a couple of attempts but Scotland clear it.
