A scary scene unfolded near the halfway point of the third match of Euro 2020.

Midfielder Christian Eriksen of Denmark collapsed and fell to the ground just before halftime in the team's opening match of the tournament against Finland.

Players from both teams immediately called for medical attention, and the game was stopped.

The Danish team surrounded Eriksen for privacy. Still, medics could be seen performing chest compressions. Eriksen's partner made her way onto the field, and she was consoled by team captain Simon Kjaer.

In a heartwarming show of support, Finland fans threw their flags onto the field to help shield Eriksen as he was carried off. The match was suspended.

A photo captured as Eriksen left the field appeared to show him conscious and receiving oxygen.

In a statement, the Union of European Football Associations said, "the player has been transferred to the hospital and has been stabilized."

The Danish FA later said that Eriksen was "awake."

Eriksen is one of the greatest players in Danish soccer history, with 109 caps for his country since he made his debut in 2010 - putting him fourth on the all-time list.

The match between Denmark and Finland resumed on Saturday evening, after players on both sides had been assured that Eriksen was okay.
