Dortmund-Atalanta delayed 15 minutes due to hosts' late arrival

The Champions League knockout round match between hosts Borussia Dortmund and Atalanta on Tuesday was delayed by 15 minutes due to the home team's late arrival.

"Due to our team's late arrival, kickoff will be postponed by 15 minutes," Dortmund posted on social media half an hour before the scheduled starting time.

A Dortmund spokesperson confirmed to AFP the delay was due to traffic issues.

The game will now start at 9:15pm local time (2015 GMT).
