Scotland earned an important point in Croatia after drawing 1-1 with Hungary in their second Group B match at the 2017 UEFA European Under-17 Championship Finals.

Rangers striker Zak Rudden marked his return from suspension by handing Scotland the lead shortly after the half-hour mark. Jourdan Houston’s free-kick was spilled by Hungary goalkeeper Balázs Ásványi and Rudden was on hand to knock the ball into the empty net. Hungary responded early in the second half through a wonderful Krisztofer Szereto free kick. The forward curled a beautiful right-footed strike beyond a helpless Jon McCracken in the Scotland goal to level proceedings.

It was only the second goal Scotland have conceded in eight matches in this year’s competition and the 1-1 scoreline ensures their unbeaten record remains fully intact. Scotland, still top of Group B, require at least a draw against France when the sides meet on Tuesday afternoon to progress to the quarter-finals.

The match against France will kick-off at 3pm (UK time) and will be live on Eurosport.
