Saturday's last-16 match between Germany and Denmark at Euro 2024 was temporarily halted late in the first half due to a violent storm in Dortmund.
Referee Michael Oliver stopped play in the 35th minute and instructed both sets of players to leave the pitch amid torrential rain, swirling winds, thunder, and lightning in the area.
Many supporters went looking for cover as water poured from the roof of Borussia Dortmund's Westfalenstadion.
Goalless at the time of the stoppage, the match resumed after a roughly 20-minute delay.
