The security game of patience was left to continue, the rival was unable to reach the Hungarian goal, but Rossi's students only managed to get a shot, Sallai's attempt was easily saved by the Scottish goalkeeper. The opponent's first attempt had to wait 53 minutes, but Adams' shot went badly over the top. Sallai, who seemed to be the only one with momentum, already launched a more vigorous shot for the second time, but Hendry blocked the ball. There were blood-curdling moments at the meeting, because after Szoboszlai's pass, the Scottish goalkeeper hit the ball, covering everyone, and Varga remained almost motionless on the ground in great pain. Help arrived slowly, the Hungarian players had to urge members of the medical staff and helpers holding the veil covering Varga. Later, the stretcher was pushed onto the field by the Szoboszlais.
After long minutes of nursing - Varga was taken off the field amid a storm of applause - only the game could continue, which picked up somewhat after that. In the last quarter of an hour, the field started to split in two, because the draw was not good for either side, but no serious scoring chances were created. Szoboszlai was apparently struggling with a physical problem, because he could not get off to a vigorous start even when the area opened up for him, so the Hungarian attacks posed a much smaller threat than usual. At the end of regular time, Schäfer's rant caused excitement, Gunn had to defend. In the ten-minute extra time, the Hungarians started to attack, first Szoboszlai missed the bottom left corner, then Csoboth stormed on the right side, but hit the right post. By the end, the field was completely split in two, at which point the teams frantically rushed for the winning - and hopefully advancing - goal, Gulácsi had to make a big save for the first time in this period. When it seemed that there would be no goal even in the big rush, Sallai, who was chosen as the best of the match, served Csoboth perfectly after advancing on the right side, who decided the match and shot the national team to third place in the group.
After the goal, the team and its fans celebrated for several minutes, as they did a few minutes later, after the whistle.
