BREAKING: Play was stopped during the Hungary vs. Netherlands match after a member of Hungary’s technical staff sustained a serious injury on the bench. Medics rushed in to assist, leaving players and officials visibly concerned.
The Nations League match between Netherlands and Hungary on Saturday was briefly interrupted in the seventh minute following a worrying medical emergency on the Hungarian bench.
Spanish referee Jesus Gil Manzano stopped play for some 10 minutes while Hungary’s assistant coach Adam Szalai received treatment, shielded from view by huddled players and staff members, as well as a large white sheet.
“Adam Szalai fell ill in the first minutes of the Netherlands-Hungary match, but his condition is stable and he is conscious. Minutes ago, he was transported by ambulance to an Amsterdam hospital for examination,” said the Hungarian Football Association in a statement.
