In a match with an epic finale the Scots were beaten by Hungary in the tenth minute of stoppage time and bid an early farewell to the Euros.
Although they had several complaints from arbitration of Argentinian Tejo, especially for not awarding a penalty, they could not ask for anything more than their simple participation in the stadiums of Germany. Proof, in fact, of just that 17 shots which the just ones also attempted two great opportunities which they created in three matches!
The shooting statistic is also the lowest ever recorded in the group stage! Of the two goals they scored, one was an own goal by Rüdiger in the premiere. The expected goals they did not exceed the unit (xG 0.91), which clearly reflects the defensive approach of the “Highlanders” and the inability to create phases in front of the opponent’s goal.
The generally likable Scotland team gives a different color to the Euros, especially because of their friends, but they were not capable of the next step.
Scotland struggled to create chances throughout their Euro 2024 campaign??
