News about Willi Orban

UEFA managing director for refereeing Roberto Rosetti has defended the decision not to award Scotland a penalty during their heartbreaking defeat to Hungary on Sunday. The Scots were denied what they believed was a clear penalty before the Hungarians netted a 100th minute winner to send them home.  Southampton's Stuart Armstrong went down in the box following contact from Hungary defender Willi Orban, but referee Facundo Tello waved play on and was not asked to review the incident by his VAR assistants.

Referee Facundo Tello and VAR Alejandro Hernandez have reportedly been axed alongside the two assistants that night, Gabriel Chade and Ezequiel Brailovsky. Tello enraged Scotland boss Steve Clarke when Stuart Armstrong went down under an ugly challenge from Willi Orban in the 79th minute and nothing was given. The Tartan Army were desperate for a goal to make the last 16 of Euro 2024 but failed to score and conceded in stoppage time as their dreams disintegrated .

Steve Clarke questioned UEFA's appointment of referee Facundo Tello based on his nationality after Scotland were knocked out of Euro 2024 by Hungary on Sunday. Scotland boss Clarke saw his side fall to a 1-0 defeat in Stuttgart that left them with just one point from their three group games. After failing to record a single shot on target, Scotland deserved to lose, although Hungary's winning goal did not arrived until the 100th minute. However, the Scots may well have won had a strong penalty appeal in the 79th minute not been turned down by Tello and his team of South American officials.

AADAM PATEL AT THE MHPARENA: 'I'm sad - disappointed and sad,' said Clarke. 'The overriding feeling is to be sad for everyone - for the supporters and the country. And the players are just as sad as everyone else.' added the Scotland boss. Defeat for Scotland means that for the 12th time in a row, they have now failed to make it out of their group at a major tournament. Despite knowing that a win would put them in a strong position to qualify, Clarke's side failed to have a shot on target until injury time but were denied a potential penalty in the second half by Argentinian referee Facundo Tello for a challenge by Willi Orban on Stuart Armstrong. And the Scotland manager revealed his frustration after there was no VAR check in Stuttgart.

Scotland supporters have slammed the decision not to award Stuart Armstrong a penalty against Hungary after the midfielder was brought down in the box by Willi Orban during the Euro 2024 defeat. Steve Clarke's battling Scotland side went all-out for victory that would have put them in a strong position to qualify with a third place group finish, underwhelming in the first-half before improving in the second.

French superstar Kylian Mbappe looks set to wear a protective mask for the remainder of Euro 2024 after picking up an injury in France's opening match against Austria (pictured right). The 25-year-old wouldn't be the first footballer to don the infamous Zorro like mask. But here, Mail Sport takes a look at how players have fared when wearing the eye-catching masks - and if the same fate awaits the French international.

The Magyarok are on a 14-game unbeaten streak stretching back to September 2022. Their last tournament, the 2022-23 Nations League , saw them beat England twice - including a 4-0 trouncing at Molineux - defeat Germany once, and finish second in a group also containing reigning European champions Italy. Headlines will naturally gravitate towards Dominik Szoboszlai, but look out for goalkeeper Peter Gulacsi and defender Willi Orban, long-time servants of the RB Leipzig revolution, as well as Freiburg winger Roland Sallai, scorer of fantastic goals. Oh, and, er, Callum Styles, a Bury lad and Barnsley full-back who has never played his club football outside England, doesn't speak Hungarian, and only found out that his grandmother was from there in 2020.

Vinicius Jr scored what was to be the game's deciding factor against RB Leipzig, but the Brazilian was extremely fortunate to be on the field when he did so. Vinicius was involved in an altercation with Leipzig's Willi Orban shortly after halftime, although he protested his reaction to a strenuous challenge. With both hands, the winger advanced to Orban before shoving him in the chest.

Despite being held 1-1 at home by RB Leipzig, Real Madrid made it to the Champions League quarter-finals. Jude Bellingham scored on Madrid's goal for Vinicius, but the Germans equalised through Willi Orban, and when the England midfielder was dismissed four minutes from time, the match was still in the balance. He watched from the sidelines as the 14-time champions avoided extra time, only. The Santiago Bernabeu feared the worst when Dani Olmo's looping shot in added time reached the top of the crossbar.

RB 2-0 BORUSSIA DORTMUND : RB Leipzig defeated toothless Borussia Dortmund 2-0 on Wednesday to advance to the German Cup semi-finals and snap their three-game losing streak in all competitions.

Willi Orban, the current Leipzig captain, might miss his team's crunch match against Union Berlin this weekend because he's making a stem cell donation that will save a stranger's life. Orban, 30, has been a key part of Leipzig's ascension to third place under Marco Rose since they fired his predecessor Domenico Tedesco in September. On Saturday, they face the league's surprise outfit Union, but the Hungarian defender could be unable to train all week before his stem cell donation.

Borussia Dortmund lost 3-0 to RB Leipzig on Saturday, their second Bundesliga loss of the season, as Marco Rose got off to a winning start by defeating his old club. Dominik Szoboszlai made the difference between Willi Orban's sixth minute opener and his second for Leipzig on the stroke of half time. Amadou Haidara's third six minutes from the end was added. As his team recovered from their 4-1 Champions League home loss to Shaktar Donetsk on Tuesday, it was the perfect start for new Leipzig boss Marco Rose, who was appointed on Thursday.

A perfectly placed through ball on the break from strike partner Sheraldo Becker found a sprinting Pefok who finished the shot to the keeper's right to go up 1-0 in 32' of the match. Willi Orban blasted Pefok on the right wing as the American returned the ball just six minutes later, playing a perfect ball to Becker on the right wing as Pefok was being tackled adamantly by Willi Orban.
