Video: Germany vs. Denmark Euro 2024 Match Suspended After Crazy Lightning, Hail
June 29, 2024
The weather did not cooperate during Saturday's Euro 2024 match between Germany and Denmark.
The Round of 16 matchup in Dortmund, Germany was suspended due to adverse weather conditions. The game only reached the 33-minute mark and neither team found the back of the net.
What started as a typical lightning storm descended into further chaos when a hailstorm began.
Despite the inclement weather, fans continued to show support and enjoy the atmosphere.
The match suspension would not last very long, as the storm was short lived and play would resume after a 25-minute weather delay.
It is one of two semi-final matchups on the day, with Switzerland taking down Italy earlier to advance to the quarterfinal.
The winner of the match will advance to the quarterfinal to face the winner of Spain and Georgia. Germany is seeking its third Euro Cup Championship and first since 1996, while Denmark is seeking a second tournament championship and first since 1992.
