Aged 23 years, seven months and 21 days, Liverpool midfielder Szoboszlai became the youngest captain in the competition’s history when leading his country out for their Group A opener at Euro 2024.

And it was his pinpoint cross from which Barnabas Varga headed home midway through the second half to halve Hungary’s deficit in Cologne, where first-half goals by Kwadwo Duah and Michel Aebischer had put Switzerland in charge.

Having been second best throughout the first 45 minutes, Hungary were much improved after the break and a moment of class from Szoboszlai set up Varga to haul them back into the contest.

However, they were unable to force an equaliser and Breel Embolo added a third for the Swiss in stoppage time.

In this match, Liverpool star has 2 Chances created, 63 Touches, 8 Passes into final third, 6/7 Accurate long balls, 3 Clearances, 1 Block and 4/5 Duels won

 

Next up for Hungary is a meeting with hosts Germany in Stuttgart on Wednesday.
