The international fixture between Netherlands and Hungary was halted after just seven minutes due to a medical emergency.
The two sides met in the UEFA Nations League at the Johan Cruyff Arena on Saturday night but the clash came to an early stoppage as a member of the Hungary staff required immediate medical treatment.
Members of the bench formed a huddle around the individual as medical professionals intervened and there were huge concerns from both players and staff.

An official update on the situation did arrive, with Dutch TV reporting that the individual who fell ill was former Schalke striker Adam Szalai, who joined Marco Rossi's coaching staff in October.
He fortunately regained consciousness and was taken to a nearby hospital in Amsterdam for further examinations.
Hungary were understandably frantic given they experienced a worrying incident involving Barnabas Varga against Scotland at Euro 2024.
In the 69th minute of the fixture, Varga was involved in a sickening collision with Scotland goalkeeper Angus Gunn.
Captain Dominik Szoboszlai hurriedly brought on the stretcher and was left in tears as sheets were put up to shield Varga from the crowd.
After being taken to hospital in Stuttgart, it was confirmed that the forward broke "several bones" and also suffered a concussion.
The 30-year-old made a full recovery and started Saturday's game against the Dutch in Amsterdam.
