Scotland’s dreams of securing a place in the last 16 of Euro 2024 were dashed by a dramatic late goal from Kevin Csoboth in the 10th minute of stoppage time. However, the celebratory mood for Hungary was dampened by the incident involving Varga.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

At the 69-minute mark, play was halted after Varga collided with Gunn, who had rushed out of Scotland’s net to punch the ball away.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Hungarian star was left on the ground as blankets were held up to shield him from the cameras, while players formed a protective wall around him.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

After the match, the first update on Varga’s condition was released.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Journalist Ben Jacobs wrote on social media<\/a>: \u201cThe Hungarian Football Federation confirm Barnabas Varga\u2019s condition is stable and he has been taken to hospital in Stuttgart.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

After the winning goal was scored, Hungary players held up Varga’s shirt to show support to their teammate.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Shortly afterwards, the Hungarian Football Association released a statement saying: “Barnabas Varga’s condition<\/a> is stable!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“The player of Ferencvaros is currently in one of the hospitals in Stuttgart! We will inform you immediately if there is any news about its status!”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It later announced that Varga broken ‘several bones’ in his face as a result of the collision as well as suffering from a concussion.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It added: “The striker is most likely to undergo surgery. He spends the night in the hospital in Stuttgart. The whole team is rooting for him!”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Bournemouth star wrote: “Proud of everyone and thankful for the support in the stadium and the country! Our brother will be alright because he is strong.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Right winger Roland Sallai, who was awarded man of the match, said it was ‘terrible’ seeing Varga suffer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

He said of the incident: “It was a terrible moment to see him like that. He\u2019ll have to go through a minor operation, but we cross our fingers for him that he can return.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
