Germany's Round of 16 clash with Denmark was interrupted by a sudden and intense weather storm on Saturday night. The match, which was still tied at 0-0 with just over half an hour played, was halted as lightning and thunder struck the field, prompting referee Michael Oliver to send the teams back to their locker rooms.
The storm caught organizers off guard, with hailstones pounding the stadium roof and causing chaos. An announcement in multiple languages informed spectators that the match had been suspended due to adverse weather conditions, leaving fans and players alike seeking shelter from the elements.
