The Scots coach is furious at VAR! It was a 100 per cent penalty, angry after European Championship finish

Scotland are the first to finish definitively at the European Championships. They needed a win against Hungary but ended up conceding in the set-up. But the Scottish coach is angry at VAR and asks why his team was not awarded a penalty kick.

Group A is definitely over. On Sunday we saw the last matches and while Germany and Switzerland played for first place, Scotland and Hungary played for third.

Both teams needed to win to be sure of progression, but for a long time the nervousness was palpable and we didn’t watch a very interesting game. However, the winners were eventually crowned.

In the 10th minute of the setup Hungary struck and could celebrate the first three points in the table. Thanks to this, there is hope for promotion, even if nothing is certain.

But Scotland are angry and no wonder. Hungarian defender Willi Orban fouled Stuart Armstrong in the penalty area late on and the referee made no reference to the moment.

“It was a 100% penalty. Someone has to explain to me why it wasn’t. It’s a one-goal game, we would have kicked a penalty and it could have been a different night. I have other words for it, but I won’t use them.

I don’t understand how VAR can look at that and say it’s not a foul,” Scotland coach Steve Clarke was angry after the game. “In a European competition it might have been better to have a European referee, but we had a European VAR and the referee might not have seen the foul clearly on the pitch…

What’s the point of VAR if it doesn’t intervene in something like this? It was a penalty,” he added. But nothing changes the result and now he will have to watch the tournament only on TV.
