Events

Match Events

  • 0' The stage is set the green flag drops! Another match against Scotland and Hungary has kicked off!
  • 5' The midfield battle is intense right now. Both Scotland and Hungary are fighting for every inch of the pitch.
  • 10' Neither side is committing men forward. This has all the hallmarks of a tense, tactical contest.
  • 15' Hungary started playing very sharply right from the kick off. However, it slowed down the tempo rapidly by 15.
  • 18' A moment of madness from Callum Styles on 18 minutes earns him a card. Hungary will be frustrated.
  • 23' Scotland currently sit in the Array table. A result here could be decisive in the race for the top positions.
  • 26' Hungary receives a card for a hard tackle on 26.
  • 31' While there is no rush on the pitch, let’s have a look at some stats. Zsolt Nagy made 104 appearances and scored 0 goals. He is very likely to score a goal today.
  • 36' The travelling Hungary supporters hardly appreciate their team being pressed down to the backline.
  • 41' Spectators do not have much to choose from both teams. The sides had several scoring chances but they still need a bit more than just a sight of a goal.
  • 44' The referee does not hesitate — a card for Andras Schafer on 44 minutes.
  • 49' Hungary looks like a favorite considering 1 games won in last 1 matches with its main striker Kevin Csoboth scoring 1 goals.
  • 50' The referee reaches into his pocket. Out comes the card for Scott McTominay.
  • 55' Roland Sallai, a Hungary , has 0 bookings this season and will need to keep his discipline tonight.
  • 60' It is a cagey affair so far. Scotland in their 3-4-2-1 trying to find a way past Hungary's compact 3-4-2-1.
  • 61' Hungary ring the changes. Callum Styles has done his job and it is now time for Adam Nagy to step up.
  • 66' The teams are not in a rush to score plenty of goals. It might look strange considering Hungary that had 104 games and scored 10 goals.
  • 71' The referee is likely to let players tackle, as he already missed some meaty challenges during opening seconds. He is still to establish what should not be done by the players and what is acceptable on the pitch. It’s going to be a tough game for Callum McGregor suffering a number of foals already.
  • 74' Another substitution for Hungary to replace Barnabas Varga by Martin Adam on 74 minute.
  • 75' Laszlo Kleinheisler picks up a card and will need to be extremely careful for the remainder of this match.
  • 76' A tactical swap from Scotland — Lawrence Shankland on, John McGinn off on 76 minutes.
  • 81' Hungary are keeping things exceptionally tight at the back. It will take something special to break them down.
  • 83' Fresh legs for Scotland! Ryan Christie comes on to replace Anthony Ralston.
  • 86' Another substitution for Hungary to replace Bendeguz Bolla by Zsolt Nagy on 86 minute.
  • 89' Lewis Morgan is replacing Andrew Robertson for the Scotland side.
  • 90' The referee shows Hungary player a card on 90.
  • The final score is 0-1.
