Scotland 2024 Euro Hopes Crushed by Hungary

McGinn Vows to Prove Doubters Wrong

Scotland's Euro 2024 Hopes End with Heartbreaking Late Loss to Hungary

Scotland's hopes of creating history at Euro 2024 were shattered in the most heartbreaking fashion on Sunday night as Kevin Csoboth's 100th-minute winner earned Hungary a stunning late victory in Budapest.

John McGinn's first-half strike had given Scotland the lead, but Hungary fought back and equalized through Roland Sallai just after the hour mark.

With the game seemingly heading for a draw, Csoboth popped up in the dying seconds to fire home and break Scottish hearts.

The result means Scotland finish bottom of Group E and will now head home, while Hungary advance to the knockout stages in second place.

Scotland manager Steve Clarke admitted that his side was "devastated" by the defeat.

"We gave it everything, but it wasn't enough," he said.

"We had our chances, but we didn't take them. And in the end, we paid the price."

McGinn, who was one of Scotland's best players on the night, said that his team would learn from this experience and come back stronger.

"We're all hurting right now," he said. "But we need to pick ourselves up and focus on the future."

"We have a lot of talented young players in this squad, and I'm confident that we can achieve great things in the future."
