Hungary won 1-0 with a dramatic stoppage-time goal from substitute Kevin Csoboth to leave it with a chance of advancing at Euro 2024, though Varga will play no further part.<\/p>\n

Several of Varga\u2019s teammates appeared to be in tears as the forward received treatment on the field. They held up blankets to shield Varga as he was tended to by medical staff.<\/p>\n

The Hungary players frantically signalled to medical staff after the incident and several have since spoken out about how long it took for Varga to receive treatment. Varga also sustained a concussion.<\/p>\n

\u201cI think, yes, it took so long. I can understand, everybody understands the protocol, and what they have to wait, but the life is more important than the football, then the health is more important,\u201d Csoboth said on Monday.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe wanted to push them to go (on the field), it doesn\u2019t matter what will happen, and that\u2019s the problem. We did not agree with them, why they did not go (on the field) immediately?"<\/p>\n

Hungary captain Dominik Szoboszlai rushed to run with the stretcher because he was concerned with how long it was taking to bring it onto the field.<\/p>\n
