Hungary vs Switzerland live: Euro 2024 Result and final score after late Embolo goal

Switzerland join Germany at the top of Group A, leaving Hungary and Scotland with work to do after the first round of games at Euro 2024

Allianz Arena erupts as Germany score first goal of Euro 2024

Switzerland edged out Hungary to secure the ideal start to Euro 2024 in Group A with a 3-1 victory. They join Germany at the top of the group after the hosts thrashed Scotland 5-1 in the tournament opener last night.

And goals from Kwadwo Duah and Michel Aebischer has the Swiss in control at the break. But after Dominik Szoboszlai set up Barnabas Varga to halve the deficit, Switzerland were left hanging on. But Breel Embolo, returning from an injury-hit season, settled the contest with a delightful, chipped finish.

Earlier, Duah opened the scoring in just his second game for Switzerland, shooting low past goalkeeper Peter Gulacsi off a pass from Aebischer. Aebischer made it 2-0 just before halftime, sidestepping away from Attila Fiola to find space on the edge of the box to hit a curling low shot past Gulacsi.

Varga's diving header in the 66th off Dominik Szoboszlai's cross brought celebrations for Hungary as some of its black T-shirt-wearing hardcore fans lit flares. Hungary kept Switzerland under pressure after that but couldn't find a second goal. Switzerland is second in Group A after host nation Germany beat Scotland 5-1 on Friday in the tournament opener. Hungary had its first loss in a competitive game since September 2022.

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.

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.
