A wild storm caused a temporary suspension of the 2024 European Championship round of 16 clash between Denmark and Germany in Dortmund on Saturday.
Thunder, lightning and a torrential downpour at Signal Iduna Park spurred officials to halt play in a 0-0 tie during the 36th minute of the match.
“Due to adverse weather conditions, the match has been suspended. Further information will follow shortly,” a statement on the stadium screen read.
The game resumed after about a 25-minute delay and a brief warm-up for the players.
Public viewings of the match in Dortmund were canceled due to the turbulent weather, according to the BBC.
Many fans in attendance opted to take cover under the overhangs in the stadium as they waited the storm out.
For a moment, the storm created a makeshift waterfall that streamed from the rafters down to the sidelines inside the stadium.
A couple of soccer fans took the delay to have some fun with it, including several people dancing in the makeshift waterfalls.
Roughly 53 minutes into the match, Germany took a 1-0 lead over Denmark with a goal from Kai Havertz, and they added one more for a 2-0 win.
