Close-up Scott McTominay suffers as Scotland is eliminated from Euro by Hungary’s 90+10 goal

The midfielder for Manchester United and his country, Scotland, were eliminated from Euro 2024 after losing to Hungary on Sunday night in a very close game.

Both teams were having trouble finding the back of the net at the Stuttgart Arena, and it appeared as though the match might end in a draw.

However, in the 100th minute of proceedings, Kevin Csoboth broke the deadlock.

Scotland won a corner and proceeded to send forward bodies. The Hungarian box became a vast tangle of bodies as a result of the set-piece. Before the ball got to Rolland Sallai on the right, who had plenty of room to work with, Marco Rossi’s me𝚗 swiftly broke upfield.

With a deft touch, Sallai found an unmarked Csoboth, who calmly scored from close range to break the hearts of every Scotland supporter.

The Tartan Army are now out of the competition as they’ve finished bottom of the group with just one point after three games played.

McTominay played all 90 minutes including added time. During the time he was on the pitch, the United midfielder embarked on two dribbles and completed just one.

He registered 34 touches of the ball and successfully found his teammates with 11 of the 15 passes he attempted, managing an individual pass accuracy of 73%.

The 27-year-old tried to find his target with one cross and one long ball. He successfully connected with the single long ball he pinged.

McTominay delved into 11 ground duels and came out on top five times. Aerially, he was required to contest five challenges against the Hungary players. He was beaten on just two occasions.

The Carrington academy graduate drew in two fouls and made half as many tackles.

He was unusually quiet in front of goal for Scotland as he failed to register a shot, whether on-target or off-target.

McTominay will most likely now go on a break as he prepares to make his return to United, just in time for the club’s pre-season tour.
