It was interrupted 17 minutes into the second half the match between Palmeiras and Al Ahly, by the Club World Cup. The stoppage occurred as part of the protocol that has been adopted in the competition, with security measures when there is a risk of storm and lightning.
The alviverde formation had just opened 2-0 on the scoreboard when the English referee Anthony Taylor called the two coaches and pointed the sky. Carried clouds approached the Metlife Stadium in East Rutherford.
It was the third game whose programming was changed for this reason. Last Tuesday (17), the victory of Mamelodi Sundowns over the Ulsan HD in Orlando began 65 minutes late. On Wednesday (18), RB Salzburg’s triumph over Pachuca in Cincinnati took a 90 -minute break.
In the departure of Palmeiras, as in the previous ones, the players were told to go to the locker room. The public also had to leave the stands and look for shelter in more protected areas of the Arena in the New Jersey region.
