In the third round of Group A of the European Championship, Szoboszlai came on as a substitute and scored a stoppage-time winner, ultimately securing a 1-0 victory for Hungary over Scotland. This victory kept Hungary’s hopes of qualification alive. After the match, Hungarian captain Szoboszlai spoke to the media, dedicating the victory to forward Varga, who had been injured and forced off the field.
Szoboszlai said: “Not only me, but the whole team dedicates this victory to Varga. I hope he’s okay, we were told that he is stable. I hope he can join us at the hotel soon, or wherever, as long as he is with us. I was one of the first to reach him, and I don’t wish those moments on anyone. I don’t understand how the protocol worked in this situation, the paramedics shouldn’t be stopped, or whatever happened there, because our entire bench was helping them get there faster.”
“When Kevin Szoboszlai scored, I said, you can’t help but cry in a moment like that, you can’t help but release your emotions. So, go ahead and release them. I’m happy that he was able to score, he worked hard for it.”
“At the start of the game, both teams were a bit more cautious in their approach, as both were focused on defense. That’s what we expected, I think they expected it too, and as we anticipated, in the last twenty minutes, there would be a back and forth, and whoever wanted it more would come out on top.”
“I think we didn’t play badly against Germany either, we just put in more effort, commitment, and willpower today, and Lady Luck was on our side this time. We have done our job, now we need to see if we can keep this up.”
