In the match on Wednesday in Stuttgart, which was won by goals in each half from Jamal Musiala and Ilkay Gundogan, midfielder Szoboszlai of Liverpool captained his country.

Midway through the first half, Musiala’s opener had the 23-year-old within two goals of quickly equalising twice. Szoboszlai broke into the penalty area, but Jonathan Tah stopped his shot. First, he was denied by a reaching Manuel Neuer, who clawed his free-kick away from the top corner.

But Gundogan’s goal in the 67th minute would confirm Germany’s win and Hungary’s second loss of the competition. Hungary will play Scotland on Sunday to wrap off the group round.

The left-back for Liverpool contributed to his nation’s goal, which gave them an early lead in their Group A match on Wednesday night in Cologne. He started a counterattack that resulted in a deflected goal by Scott McTominay after making a driving move from deep.

 

Former Red Xherdan Shaqiri then produced a moment of brilliance to equalise in stunning fashion for the Swiss, though Robertson so nearly created a second-half winner for Scotland as his free-kick delivery was headed onto the post by Grant Hanley.

The game would finish all square, however – a result that means Scotland go into their final pool fixture against Hungary on Sunday in third place and one point above Dominik Szoboszlai’s team.
