the match between the Netherlands and Hungary interrupted several minutes after discomfort on the sidelines

A member of the Hungarian staff collapsed at the edge of the pitch and was quickly evacuated to the nearest hospital on Saturday.

The scene recalls Christian Eriksen's discomfort during Euro 2021. After only seven minutes of play, the Nations League meeting between the Netherlands and Hungary was interrupted, Saturday, November 16, after a player's discomfort on the sidelines. In the images, behind a forest of staff members, we can discern the silhouette of a person lying down and having convulsions. After the rapid intervention of doctors, a tarpaulin was deployed to isolate the victim.

10 minutes after the incident, the Hungarian Football Federation clarified on its X account that it was Adam Szalai, assistant to coach Marco Rossi and former Hungarian international striker (2009-2022). “His condition is stable and he is conscious”she wrote, specifying that he was on the road to the hospital in Amsterdam to be examined. The match has resumed.
