The Hungarian Football Association released a statement saying, "Adam Szalai fell ill in the first minutes of the Netherlands-Hungary match, but his condition is stable and he is conscious. He was transported by ambulance to an Amsterdam hospital for examination." Szalai, a former striker with 86 caps for Hungary before his retirement in 2023, was carried off on a stretcher to applause from fans and players alike. His career included time with several German clubs such as Stuttgart, Mainz, Schalke, Hoffenheim, and Hannover, as well as stints with Real Madrid B in Spain and Basel in Switzerland. **Match Highlights:** After the brief medical delay, the Dutch team quickly took control, scoring just nine minutes into the game. Wout Weghorst, a former Manchester United player, converted a penalty awarded after a video assistant referee review. Cody Gakpo added a second penalty just before halftime after Donyell Malen was fouled by Zsolt Nagy, putting the Netherlands up 2-0. Denzel Dumfries made it 3-0 with a well-placed goal set up by Malen, and Teun Koopmeiners capped off the scoring with a header from a Dumfries cross in the 85th minute. Following this match, the Netherlands sit on 8 points, while Hungary remains at 5 points with one match left. The Dutch have secured second place in the group due to their superior head-to-head record.
