Scotland knocked out of Euro 2024 by Hungary
Heartbreak for Scotland as Euro 2024 hopes are dashed
Hungary secure late goal to end Scotland's tournament
Scotland's hopes of creating history at Euro 2024 were dashed on Sunday night as they suffered a heart-breaking defeat to Hungary. A late goal from Hungarian substitute Dániel Gazdag sealed a 2-1 victory for the visitors and sent Scotland crashing out of the tournament. Scotland had taken the lead in the first half through a stunning strike from John McGinn, but Hungary levelled just before half-time through Roland Sallai. The Scots pushed for a winner in the second half, but they were unable to find a way past the Hungarian defence. Scotland defender Anthony Ralston told BBC Scotland after the match: "I'm absolutely gutted. Proud of this group of the." Midfielder John McGinn added: "We have the mentality and capability to prove people wrong by making history and staying in Euro 2024." Scotland's exit from the tournament is a major disappointment for the nation, which had high hopes of making a deep run in the competition. However, Scotland can be proud of their performance in the tournament. They played with heart and determination and came close to causing an upset against one of the favourites.
