Take a look at the major talking points from the match:

HUNGARY SCORES IN STOPPAGE TIME

Substitute Kevin Csoboth scored in the 10th minute of added time to take Hungary to third in Group A.

BARNABAS VARGA STRETCHERED OFF

In the 69th minute of the match, Dominik Szoboszlai whipped in a freekick which Scotland’s keeper Angus Gunn came out to punch away.  

Gunn came out and collided with Barnabas Varga who stayed down, with physios racing on and players forming a wall around him in the six-yard area. The staff proceeded to put a cloth around the player while he was receiving medical attention.

Varga was then stretchered off the pitch by the medical staff. VAR checks were conducted but no penalty was awarded to Hungary after the incident.

THREE YELLOW CARDS FOR HUNGARY IN THE FIRST HALF

A closely contested first half saw referee Facundo Tello book Hungary’s Willi Orbán, András Schäfer and Callum Styles for bad challenges.

SCOTLAND EYES FIRST EVER KNOCKOUT APPEARANCE

Scotland will be looking for a vital three points in order to increase its chances of making the knockout stages for the first time in its history.

It has previously appeared in 11 major international tournaments- eight World Cups and three European Championships- without making it past the group stage.

TIERNEY RULED OUT FOR THE TOURNAMENT

Defender Kieran Tierney was left out of Scotland’s squad to face the Hungarians after he sustained an injury during his side’s 1-1 draw against Switzerland.

Tierney was stretchered off in the match after going to the floor clutching his hamstring, an injury which has ruled him out for the rest of the tournament.
