The Manchester United midfielder and his Scotland international were eliminated from Euro 2024 after a very late defeat to Hungary on Sunday evening.
The match looked like it would descend into a stalemate at the Stuttgart Arena with both teams struggling to find the back of the net.
However, Kevin Ksovos broke the deadlock after 100 minutes of play.
Scotland sent a body forward after winning a corner. The set piece caused a huge tangle of bodies in the Hungarian box. Marco Rossi’s men broke quickly before the ball reached Roland Salai on the right, who had space to work with.
Sallai expertly picked his target and found the unmarked Csoboth, who confidently scored from close range to break the hearts of every Scotland fan.

McTominay played all 90 minutes, including extra time. While he was on the pitch, the United midfielder attempted two dribbles and succeeded only once.
He had 34 touches on the ball and managed an individual passing accuracy of 73%, successfully finding a teammate on 11 of the 15 passes he attempted.
The 27-year-old tried to find the target with one cross and one long ball. He succeeded in connecting with one long ball he pinged.
McTominay has competed in 11 ground duels and placed top five times. In the air, he had to face five challenges from the Hungarians. He was beaten only twice.
The Carrington Academy graduate was fouled twice and had his tackle count halved.
He was unusually quiet in front of goal for Scotland as he failed to register a shot, whether on target or off target.

McTominay is now likely to rest as he prepares to return to United in time for the club’s pre-season tour.
