Hungary forward Barnabás Varga suffered a serious-looking injury during his team's final group match at the European Championship on Sunday. The incident occurred during the Group A game against Scotland when Varga collided with opposing goalkeeper Angus Gunn.

The match was halted for nearly 10 minutes to allow Varga to receive treatment from medical staff. His teammates showed solidarity by holding up blankets to shield him from view as he was tended to. The scene was met with concern from both sets of fans in the stadium.

Ultimately, Varga had to be stretchered off the field due to the severity of his injury. Despite the competitive nature of the match, both sets of fans put aside their allegiances and applauded as Varga was taken off for further medical attention.
