Kevin Csoboth scores a last-minute winner to knock the Scots out
That it took that long was a minor miracle given the chances that Dominik Szoboszlai and Czoboth had missed in that stoppage period.The Tartan Army were in fine voice all day, but nothing could prepare anyone for what was to come just before kick-off. Those inside the Stuttgart Arena won’t forget this rendition ofin a hurry. It was so loud it made your ears ring, sent the hairs on forearms bolt upright and filled eyes with proud, patriotic tears.
Who knows whether Scotland would have started as assuredly as they did without that chorus coursing through their bodies, but it can’t have done any harm. They looked comfortable, confident even, in the opening stages, trying to build patiently through the lines with Billy Gilmour retreating in between to the centre-backs to collect the ball and gently coax it forward.
Hungary pose a big threat from free-kicks and when Che Adams’ outstretched boot flicked someone in the face, they had one in the perfect position. Szoboszlai shaped to shoot but clipped a cute cross to the back post to Willi Orban whose header nicked the crossbar.Hendry must have one of those faces because he was crunched again just before half-time, this time by Andras Schafer who was booked for a reckless lunge that caught the defender on the top of the foot.
The players, led by captain Szoboszlai, and supporters were incensed by the remarkably relaxed response from the paramedics to Varga’s plight with their anger matched by those in red behind the goal. Varga was eventually stretchered off the pitch, earning respectful applause from all four corners of the ground as he was carried down the tunnel. The Hungarian Football Federation confirmed the player is conscious after being taken to hospital.
