TV spidercam falls during Hungary-Kazakhstan friendly match
Summary

During a friendly match between Hungary and Kazakhstan at Nagyerdei Stadium in Debrecen on June 9, a TV camera suspended by wires fell onto the pitch. The camera began smoking in the first half due to fire damage to its supporting cable, plunging from a height of more than 20 meters and landing near Hungary's warm-up area. Fortunately, no injuries were reported, and play resumed after a brief stoppage while players took a drinks break in the 26th minute. Hungary secured a 3-1 win in the match, with Liverpool midfielder Dominik Szoboszlai scoring among the goals.
