Germany’s Euro 2024 knockout tie with Denmark suffered a 24-minute delay due to thunder and lightning in Dortmund.
English referee Michael Oliver suspended the round-of-16 tie, which was scoreless, after 35 minutes before the weather relented.
The round-of-16 tie began in good weather, but conditions changed as the contest went past the half-hour mark.
Tottenham manager Ange Postecoglou, speaking on ITV, said: “I’m surprised it took it that long to get them off actually because there’s been some pretty nasty incidents with it.”
