In the opening round of the Club World Cup, Mexico's Pachuca faced Austria's Salzburg, but the match will not be completed on schedule.
Details: The game had to be halted in the second half. The reason—adverse weather conditions. Torrential rain and thunderstorms rolled in.
As previously explained, the United States enforces a ban on holding sporting events during thunderstorms for safety reasons. This applies to professional games as well as school or amateur competitions.
Incidentally, for the same reason, the kickoff of the match between Juventus and Al Ain from the UAE could also be postponed or delayed.
Reminder: One Club World Cup match has already been rescheduled: the clash between Mamelodi Sundowns and Ulsan Hyundai was delayed by 65 minutes due to bad weather in the host city.
