Much to the disappointment of their fans, the Hungarian national football team suffered a 5–0 defeat to Germany in the first round of the UEFA Nations League in Düsseldorf on Saturday. Both national team captain Marco Rossi and star midfielder Dominik Szoboszlai emphasized that a win in Tuesday’s game against Bosnia is the only acceptable outcome to put the shame of Saturday’s defeat behind them.
After a 3–1 loss to Switzerland and a 2–0 loss to Germany, Hungary sits pointless at the bottom of Group A at Euro 2024. However, they can still advance to the Round of 16, if they manage to beat Scotland by multiple goals on Sunday.
Marco Rossi’s men lost to the Irish team who, unlike Hungary, did not qualify for Euro 2024. The Irish scored the winner in the 92nd minute after a quick counterattack following a Hungarian corner, setting the final 2–1 scoreline.
