On June 24, in the final group stage match of the European Championship, Scotland played Hungary to a goalless draw in the first half. Scotland set a record in this edition of the Euros: both instances of teams failing to have a single shot on target in the first half were by the Scottish team.
Heading into the last round of Group A, Scotland, with one draw and one loss, sat third in the group with one point, while Hungary, with two defeats, were at the bottom. For both sides, securing a victory was crucial for advancing to the round of 16.
In the opening 45 minutes, Scotland, who had a better chance of qualification, found themselves on the back foot, managing zero shots compared to Hungary’s five. This marked the second time in the tournament that a team did not register a shot on target in the first half.
Interestingly, the first occurrence of a team not having a shot on target in the first half also belonged to Scotland, in their opening match against Germany. This awkward statistic highlights Scotland’s attacking struggles.
