Germany vs Denmark Euro 2024 clash suspended due to extreme weather

Germany’s last 16 clash with Denmark has been suspended 10 minutes before half-time by referee Michael Oliver after a thunderstorm hit the stadium in Dortmund, with the game goalless

Germany’s last 16 clash with Denmark has been suspended due to extreme weather, with a lightning storm hitting the area around Signal Iduna Park in Dortmund.

Two huge claps of thunder rang out around the stadium, before referee Michael Oliver blew his whistle and directed the two sets of players to leave the pitch. Rain then started pouring down as well as hail stones as lightning could be seen striking the area around the ground.

The stadium’s roof also started leaking, with huge waterfalls soaking the supporters who attended the game. At first, the players stood around the dugouts, before Oliver instructed them to return to the dressing rooms after a few minutes of waiting.
