MADRID (AP) — Hungary qualified for its third straight European Championship after an own-goal in stoppage time in a game marred by violent clashes outside an empty stadium in Bulgaria. Bulgarian fans threw makeshift bombs, stones and plastic bottles at the police and they responded with a water cannon after trash cans were set on fire in the capital of Sofia. Thousands of Bulgarian supporters were protesting the management of the Bulgarian soccer federation. Slovakia also secured its spot at Euro 2024 in Germany and Cristiano Ronaldo scored his 128th goal for already qualified Portugal. Spain defeated Cyprus 3-1, Austria beat Estonia 2-0 and Azerbaijan beat Sweden 3-0.
