World Cup qualifier suspended as floodlights go out and entire stadium plunged into darkness

A WORLD Cup qualifier between Nicaragua and Haiti was plunged into darkness after the floodlights went out.

Haiti ended up securing a 3-0 win in their bid to reach next year’s tournament in the United after going top of their CONCACAF group.

But their World Cup game was temporarily disrupted in the first half after the lights went out inside the stadium.

There had been heavy rainfall inside the Estadio Nacional de Futbal in Nicaragua on Thursday evening.

And the weather appeared to cause technical difficulty as a clip showed the stadium becoming completely pitch black for a short period.

Haiti were 1-0 up at the time of the power cut at the 28th minute mark as play was briefly halted.

The commentator could be heard saying: “Oh and the lights have gone out.

“Well, that obviously will make it difficult to continue for now.”

Fans were seen trying to entertain themselves in the stands while organisers battled to get the power back on.

Eventually the problem was resolved and the lighting was restored, with Haiti scoring a second just minutes after the restart.

The goal, scored by Danley Jean Jacques, was assisted by Wolves midfielder Jean-Ricner Bellegarde.

They netted their third goal of the night in stoppage time to seal an important victory.

Fans reacted to the bizarre moment on social media as they joked it was a “peak CONCACAF moment”.

One said: “Every time we think we’ve reached peak CONCACAF, there’s yet another peak further up.”

Another added: “CONCACAF gonna CONCACAF.”

A third said: “They went full CONCACAF. Never go full CONCACAF-y.”

And one wrote: “Only in CONCACAF would the lights go out 30 minutes in.”

Haiti have five points from their first three World Cup Qualifying third-round games, with two draws and no losses so far.

Nicaragua are bottom of the standings after just one point so far.

The team who finishes top of the group will advance to next year’s World Cup, while the runners up will compete in a play-off.

Celebrity Traitors star ‘threw a wobbly behind the scenes after being left furious by first murder on BBC show’ 

PALOMA Faith was reportedly left “fuming” behind the scenes after being murdered on The Celebrity Traitors.  

The Only Love Can Hurt Like this songstress, 44, was the first elimination on the BBC show and allegedly felt “betrayed”

“She threw a wobbly afterwards about being the first to go,” an insider told the Mirror.

“Some players just shrug it off when they leave, but Paloma was fuming when she discovered who had betrayed her.

“She couldn’t work out what had actually happened, and when she found out the details it only made her feel worse.

“Paloma is loud and wears her heart on her sleeve – it’s fair to say that she wasn’t happy with going home first,” the source alleged.

The Sun has contacted Paloma’s representatives and the BBC for comment.

Chatty man Alan, talk show host Jonathan Ross and chart-topping singer Cat Burns were all recruited by Claudia Winkleman.

The trio were tasked with carrying out the first faithful killing, with comedian Alan opting to take out his showbiz pal Paloma. 

She was poisoned by Alan’s touch before her funeral unfolded in Thursday’s instalment.

Paloma wasn’t best pleased when she discovered her mate Alan was a Traitor during Ed Gamble’s after-show, Uncloaked.

Sitting down in the Traitors castle, the singer was shown the identities of all three – and she couldn’t believe it.

“These are like three of my favourite people that I was sure… I hope they never call me again,” she told the spin-off presenter.

“Bang out of order. Bang out of order. I feel really even more betrayed now. I feel betrayed by Jonathan and Alan.”

She also took aim at Cat as the pair share a mutual manager. “She’s on the same record label as me, and she should have some loyalty.”

Later on in the show, Paloma appeared to drag Alan and said she wouldn’t have killed him if “the shoe was on the other foot”.

“I don’t think he should have done it to me, and I’m surprised that he did,” she said.

The singer also shared her upset on Instagram, uploading a depressing snap dressed in her funeral attire and sat by her gravestone.

“Honestly. GUTTED, no words,” she penned in the post’s caption.

The Celebrity Traitors continues Wednesdays and Thursdays from 9pm on BBC One and on BBC iPlayer.

Chisora – who met with Frank Warren to discuss opponents – is yet to confirm who he will fight.

But the 41-year-old called out Deontay Wilder, Dillian Whyte and Jarrell Miller on social media.

Wilder – the once formidable WBC world champion and knockout artist – was beaten consecutively by Joseph Parker and Zhelli Zhang.

But he did return with victory in June against little-known Tyrrell Herndon in Kansas.

Wilder, 39, claimed on a stream with internet personality Neon that he has signed to fight again in January.

Whyte, 37, was knocked out in the first round against 20-year-old prodigy Moses Itauma in August but refused to retire.

He beat Chisora in a controversial decision in 2016 but won with a savage 11th-round KO two years later.

Miller, 37, meanwhile was due to fight Fabio Wardley, 30, in June before withdrawing from the bout.

His last fight was against Andy Ruiz Jr, 36, in August 2024 which ended in a draw.

Miller infamously blew the chance to fight Anthony Joshua in 2019 after failing THREE drug tests.

Chisora is due to fight on the same card as Itauma in seperate bouts.

He announced on Instagram: “Let me tell you something, we are going back to Manchester on December 13, shutdown.

“Book your hotels, book your restaurants, me and Queensberry are coming to shut it down in Manchester on the 13th of December.

“The opponent will be announced soon. I had one, but the big boss took him.

“I’m currently arguing with the big boss about what he wants. But the road to 50 in Manchester. The last dance is happening in Manchester. War!”
