Euro on hold! Due to bad weather, the round of 16 match between Germany and Denmark had to be interrupted this Saturday evening.
The two teams, who until then neutralized each other 0-0, were playing in the 35th minute when the storm began to settle over Signal Iduna Park in Dortmund. The meeting was interrupted a few seconds after lightning visibly fell not far from the enclosure. Grouped together on the benches at the edge of the pitch, the players were invited to join the locker room.
Resuming after 20 minutes of stoppage
“Due to unfavorable weather conditions (thunderstorms and heavy rain) in Dortmund, it has been decided to suspend the UEFA EURO 2024 round of 16 between Germany and Denmark,” UEFA initially wrote before specifying that she would make “an announcement on the resumption of the match in due time”.
Hailstones have since started to fall on the stadium pitch. About twenty minutes later, the players finally returned to the pitch and warmed up for a few minutes, before finally resuming the match. The fans, however, remained in the stadium during this interruption while several fan zones in Germany were evacuated.
