A horrific collision between Hungary striker Barnabás Varga and Scotland’s goalkeeper Angus Gunn left the final group game between the Tartan Army and the Magyars delayed for over 10 minutes.
Varga, a teammate of Liverpool’s Dominik Szoboslai, seemed to have taken an elbow to the face after colliding with Gunn during an attempt on a free kick.
The Hungary striker crashed to the ground and lay there motionless as the referee halted the game.
A number of players, including Szoboszlai, were spotted crying. The Hungary captain even dashed off the field to rush stretcher bearers as they walked to the scene, evidently in a state of concern for Varga.
Varga was ultimately brought off the field amid cheers from both sets of supporters following a ten-minute wait.
The game later commenced as Hungary grabbed a late winner courtesy of Kevin Csoboth to keep hopes of making it to the next round alive.
