Why was part of the Ipswich v Manchester United game played without VAR?

The match between Manchester United and Ipswich at Portman Road was full of surprises and chaos even before halftime due to the VAR system being turned off.

Details: Around the 35th minute, the fourth official informed both managers that the VAR system at Portman Road would no longer be operational for the foreseeable future. The cause was a fire in the building housing the VAR center, which led to a power outage.

However, VAR was reactivated just before halftime, approximately seven minutes after the system was shut down.

Fortunately, there were no controversial situations during this brief period, although an incident involving Liam Delap and Noussair Mazraoui occurred just before the break, which could have led to a red card.
