Hungary vs Switzerland live: Euro 2024 latest score and updates

Must read

Allianz Arena erupts as Germany score first goal of Euro 2024

Euro 2024 continues as Hungary face Switzerland in Group A looking to keep up with hosts Germany, who thrashed Scotland 5-1 in the tournament opener last night.

Both teams know they can strengthen their hopes of reaching the last-16 with a victory in Cologne. Hungary, who are led by Liverpool midfielder Dominik Szoboszlai, went unbeaten in qualifying for the Euros and have enjoyed victories over England and Germany over the last couple of years. Marco Rossi’s side are seen as dark horses by some.

Switzerland, meanwhile, have a strong recent record at major tournaments and reached the quarter-finals of Euro 2020 three years ago after stunning favourites France on penalties. Granit Xhaka, fresh off helping Bayer Leverkusen to the Bundesliga title, is Switzerland’s leader and will hope to inspire another run at the Euros.

Group A opponents Scotland will be hoping both teams drop points in Cologne after their tournament got off to the worst possible start in Munich. Steve Clarke’s side face Switzerland on Wednesday and then Hungary next Sunday.

Euro 2024: Hungary 0-2 Switzerland

GOAL! That is a stunner from Aebischer!

Aebischer curled that beautifully, wrapping it inside the post, with the shot finding the bottom right corner. Magic!

What a chance! Hungary should be level, a curling cross from the left and Orban wriggles free.

He doesn’t adjust his body in time and then reaches low with his neck to head towards goal. No power or direction added from the delivery and that’s easy for Sommer.

Kerkez working hard down the left now and a good ball into the box.

Schar clears well, but there’s a nice flow to this game now, back and forth with both sides taking it in turns to sweep the ball around the pitch in Cologne. Good football.

Switzerland now working their way down the right and Widmer having some joy.

He’ll wind up the long throw to test Hungary, too, but it’s headed clear. Akanji marshalling the back three nicely.

Vargas looks lively in the box too, Hungary scrambling it clear as the Swiss aim to cut through the lines.

Beautiful from Ndoye there to clip the ball around Szalai at the byline. He’s playing with real freedom.

Euro 2024: Hungary 0-1 Switzerland

Whistles from the Swiss fans, Hungary now settling and have a corner.

Szoboszlai’s delivery is heavy though, right to the very back of the penalty area at the far post to Orban. Too easy to defend for Switzerland when afforded the chance to get out.

Rodriguez in with a late challenge on Szobozlai, a feisty affair this one.

Xhaka pulling the strings, the Leverkusen maestro is purring right now with the Swiss in command.

It’s 67 percent possession for the Swiss. Hungary going long and targeting Ndoye when Rodriguez has tucked inside on the left side of the Swiss defence.

Vargas should have another for Switzerland, what a miss!

It was a dreadful ball from Kerkez to send Vargas through on goal, but Peter Gulacsi makes a fine save after Vargas outmuscled Szalai.

A huge let-off for Hungary, who need to wake up.

Euro 2024: Hungary 0-1 Switzerland

GOAL! It’s onside after a quick VAR check, Duah has his debut goal for Switzerland!

Aebischer with the vision, Duah with speed in behind, then the calm finish, it was a lovely move.

And what about the technology, a quick check and the decision reversed within a minute or so, much better.

What a chance! Sallai had time and space, but he blasts over!

It was fine work down the right from Fiola, excellent start from Hungary: fast, aggressive and sprinkling in quality at times.

Now Switzerland able to settle, passing it from side to side at the back, Xhaka dropping in to dictate.

It’s a lively atmosphere in Cologne, Hungary perhaps the more composed on the ball so far and looking to establish a spell of possession.

Freuler beaten by Schafer with a tidy dribble across the width of the pitch.

And Rossi’s side press high, four against four, not handing Switzerland much time to settle.
