🤨 In the middle of the match: Stadium suddenly empties at Club World Cup | OneFootball

The reformed Club World Cup is not yet a big crowd puller. A completely empty stadium, even though there are still about 30 minutes to play, is extremely unusual. What's going on?

Shortly after Palmeiras scored the 2:0 against Al Ahly, referee Anthony Taylor sent both teams off the field. Shortly after, the spectators were also asked to leave the stadium.

The weather is the reason. Although the sun was still shining brightly at the time of the interruption, severe thunderstorms are predicted for the venue New Jersey in the near future.

The result is a ghostly view of the deserted MetLife Stadium. This measure has not been necessary for the first time. Already on Wednesday and Thursday night, two matches had to be temporarily interrupted for this reason.

UPDATE: After about 50 minutes, today's match could be kicked off again. The feared thunderstorm did not occur. Safety first.
