Hungary captain Szoboszlai couldn’t hide his concern upon witnessing teammate Varga unconscious after a dangerous collision.
The match between Scotland and Hungary was relatively uneventful until the 67th minute when a player lay motionless on the field due to a dangerous collision. Barnabas Varga collided face-first with Scotland goalkeeper Angus Gunn’s shoulder. The impact was severe, causing the Hungarian player to lie motionless and apparently lose consciousness.
Medical staff were immediately dispatched, and screens were erected to shield Varga during the initial treatment, heightening concern among fans and players alike. This indicated a serious and potentially dangerous injury. Moments later, an ambulance was summoned onto the field, but updates on Varga’s condition were not yet available.
Witnessing his teammate unconscious on the field, Hungary captain Dominik Szoboszlai visibly expressed worry. The Liverpool midfielder shed tears but struggled to contain his emotions, fearing for Varga’s unknown injury severity.
Returning to the match, Hungary scored in stoppage time to edge past Scotland with a minimal scoreline. This victory earned Szoboszlai and his teammates three crucial points, keeping their hopes alive for progression. Hungary now awaits results from other groups to see if they qualify as one of the top four third-place teams in Euro 2024.
Szoboszlai, who had earlier handed Kevin Csoboth Varga’s jersey in tribute after his match-winning goal, also wore Varga’s jersey during post-match celebrations, offering encouragement to the injured player.
Currently, there are no further updates on Barnabas Varga’s injury status as he continues to receive treatment at the hospital.
