Breel Embolo left fans bewildered during Switzerland’s 3-1 victory over Hungary at Euro 2024. The 27-year-old forward came off the bench to score Switzerland’s third goal, but it was a piece of clothing that fell as he ran through on goal that caught everyone’s attention.

With Hungary pushing for a late equalizer, Embolo latched onto a long ball from goalkeeper Yann Sommer and chipped it over Péter Gulácsi. As he sprinted, a piece of clothing fell from his knee, leading fans to believe he had lost his pants. Reacting online, one fan said, “Fair play to Embolo doing that with his pants falling off.” Another added, “Did Embolo just lose his pants?” However, it was revealed to be a knee strap aiding Embolo’s recovery from a season-long injury.

Despite a late complication in his return from Monaco, Embolo made Switzerland’s Euro 2024 squad. Earlier, Kwadwo Duah and Michel Aebischer scored for Switzerland, with Barnabus Varga pulling one back for Hungary. Embolo’s goal secured the win, placing Switzerland second in Group A behind Germany, who thrashed Scotland 5-1.
