STUTTGART: Hungary got their first win of Euro 2024 but paid a painful price. In shocking scenes reminiscent of Dane Christian Eriksen’s collapse after suffering cardiac arrest in Euro 2020, Barnabas Varga fell to the pitch in Stuttgart and was struggling to move after collision with Scotland goalkeeper Angus Gunn who came to collect the ball late in the second half.

As Varga tried to meet Dominik Szoboszlai’s free kick, Gunn punched the ball with his right arm and Varga’s head appeared to collide with the goalkeeper’s trailing left arm.
