The game between Hungary and Scotland at Euro 2024 on Sunday evening took a shocking turn when Barnabas Varga, a player for Hungary, suffered a serious head injury. As the match progressed, Varga was involved in an aerial collision with Scotland's goalkeeper, Angus Gunn, and was left motionless on the ground after landing. It was a distressing sight for everyone present, and Hungary's players immediately rushed to his side to offer their support.
The incident was captured by the cameras, and the BBC, who was broadcasting the match, initially showed a replay of the collision. However, they quickly realized the severity of the situation and cut away to a wider shot of the pitch while Varga received medical attention. Gabby Logan, who was covering the game, later admitted that she and the BBC were taken aback by UEFA's decision to show a replay of Varga's injury. Logan explained that there are protocols in place for such situations, especially after Christian Eriksen's collapse during a match three years ago.
During the broadcast, the players and stewards held up blankets to shield Varga from the cameras while he received medical attention. Hungary's medical staff was initially slow to react, but they eventually arrived on the pitch and put Varga in a recovery position. As the game ended, Logan's thoughts were with Varga, and she assured viewers that they would provide updates on his condition as soon as they received information.
Fortunately, Hungary later confirmed that Varga was conscious and in a stable condition, although he is likely to undergo surgery for several broken bones in his face and a concussion. The team's head coach, Marco Rossi, expressed his concern for Varga and his relief that he was not at risk. However, he did mention that Varga might not be able to continue in the tournament, depending on the severity of his injuries. The most important thing, according to Rossi, was that Varga was safe and healthy.
Scotland's goalkeeper, Gunn, also commented on the incident, stating that he thought he had to go for the ball, but it was a painful collision. He also expressed his hopes for Varga's well-being and admitted that he couldn't remember much of the incident. In the post-match press conference, Rossi mentioned that Varga would most likely have to undergo surgery for his injuries but reassured everyone that he was not in any danger.
It was a terrifying moment for everyone involved, but it was a relief to hear that Varga was conscious and stable after the game. The incident also highlighted the importance of proper protocols and procedures for dealing with injuries in football matches. The well-being of players should always be the top priority, and it's a testament to the sport that everyone came together to support Varga in his time of need.
