THE NATIONS LEAGUE semi-final clash between Germany and Portugal had to be delayed by 10 minutes due to “adverse weather conditions” in Munich.
The situation became so unbearable that players had to protect themselves from hailstones.
That match was initially expected to start at 9pm (7pm BST) local time in Germany.
Thus, the game kicked off at 9:10pm local time (7:10pm BST).
Earlier in the day, UEFA warned match goers of possible thunderstorms in the Bavarian capital forecast.
Around an hour before the originally scheduled kick-off time, a storm swept across northern Munich.
And it lashed the stadium with rain, leaving the arena grass carpeted in hailstones.
Goalkepeers from both sides had begun their warm-up when the storm hit.

JEFF Brazier looked downcast during a phone call after it was revealed that his son Freddy is living with nan Jackiey amid their family feud.
The TV presenter, 46, looked tense during a round of golf in Essex on Wednesday.
Freddy, 20, has reportedly been living with his grandmother for the past week despite his parent taking legal action to stop him from seeing his grandparent, Jackiey Budden.
Earlier today, Jeff appeared in low spirits as he hit some golf balls on the course.
He was seen pushing his clubs bag around and then stopped to take a phone call in the car park.
The ITV star looked deep in conversation during the chat.
He wore navy trousers, a pale grey zip-up jumper and a Callaway cap with grey and black trainers.
Freddy was just four, and his EastEnders actor brother Bobby five, when their mother Jade Goody died from cervical cancer in 2009.
The Big Brother legend passed away at the age of 27 with the two boys then raised by their dad.
Jackiey and Jeff have clashed several times over the years before The Sun on Sunday revealed that the former Dancing on Ice contestant had taken legal action following concerns for his son’s wellbeing.
It now appears the spat may have deeper implications.
After Bobby turned 22 on June 2, a source told us: “Bobby celebrated his birthday with dad Jeff and step mum Kate over the weekend.
“It was a really nice family occasion but everyone really missed Freddie.
“He was of course invited but he is making his feelings quite clear at the moment about who he wants to be spending time with.
“He did acknowledge that Bobby’s birthday online but there was some sadness that he wasn’t there with his brother.”
It came shortly after Freddy appeared to take a swipe at Jeff and said: “Home is where the heart is.”
Earlier this week, we reported how the pair were captured in a dance video.
In the clip shared on TikTok, a shirtless Freddy and his grandmother can be seen dancing around in the garden of her South London home.
The star simply captioned the post with hashtags, writing: “#fyp #explore #freddybrazier #jackieybudden #dancetrend.”
Now Freddie has returned to the platform today with Jackiey in a slideshow video captioned: “Why don’t we fall in love.”
He uploaded a series of individual images against the backing track to Amerie’s song of the same name.
It kicked off with an image showing him and Jackiey, who was donning a black vest top and cargo trousers rolled up to the knee, walking down a cobbled London street.
Further snaps included ones showing him lying on the grass with a dog and playing football.
The new video comes as Freddy’s TV presenter dad Jeff Brazier, 46, recently launched legal action to block Jackiey, 68, from seeing him.
Despite trying to keep the duo apart, The Mail reports that Freddy spent the last week with his grandmother at her home in Bermondsey.
A source told the publication: “Jeff was never going to keep Freddy away from his Nanny for very long – they’ve always had a strong bond.
“Jeff may hate her for all sorts of reasons going back many years, but Freddy loves her very much.
“They had a great time together, playing with her dog and catching up at her flat – where he has often stayed over the years.
“Whatever Jeff hoped to achieve with his legal efforts, it hasn’t worked.”
