  • 0' Welcome to Mercedes-Benz Arena that hosts another battle between Scotland and Hungary.
  • 5' Willi Orban is a natural and has been asked to do a very specific job for Hungary tonight.

  • 15' Players seem to put ease on their energy level Spectators hardly appreciate such approach. Teams need to speed up the tempo.
  • 18' That is a card for Hungary. Callum Styles will be fuming at that decision.

  • 26' Willi Orban is having his name booked by the referee on 26.
  • 31' Scotland are keeping things exceptionally tight at the back. It will take something special to break them down.

  • 50' That is a card for Scotland. Scott McTominay will be fuming at that decision.
  • 55' While players are taking a pause, let’s have a look at their stats. The teams met 1 times this season with Hungary winning 100% of all matches.

  • 61' A tactical swap from Hungary — Adam Nagy on, Callum Styles off on 61 minutes.
  • 66' The midfield battle is intense right now. Both Scotland and Hungary are fighting for every inch of the pitch.

  • 75' The referee reaches into his pocket. Out comes the card for Laszlo Kleinheisler.
  • 76' Scotland ring the changes. John McGinn has done his job and it is now time for Lawrence Shankland to step up.
  • 81' We are waiting for someone to take the initiative. Who will be the first to commit to attack?
  • 83' The Scotland manager makes a substitution. Anthony Ralston departs to be replaced by Ryan Christie.
  • 86' Another substitution for Hungary to replace Bendeguz Bolla by Zsolt Nagy on 86 minute.
