DORTMUND, Germany — A thunderstorm stopped play as Germany and Denmark met in the round of 16 at the European Championship on Saturday.The score was 0-0 in the 35th minute when the referee took the players off with rain pouring, high winds and repeated lightning strikes near the Westfalenstadion. A loud bang resounded around the stadium shortly before the players were taken off.
Hail was even falling on the field during the interruption in a stark contrast to the previously warm summer evening. “Due to adverse weather conditions the match has been suspended. Further information will follow shortly,” read an announcement on the stadium screens. Fans in the front rows of the stadium's famed South Stand moved under cover as the gale blew torrents of rain onto their seats and water cascaded off the edge of the roof. Some German fans sang: “Oh, how lovely it is.”AP Euro 2024: https://apnews.com/hub/euro-2024
