Germany's Euro 2024 last-16 game against Denmark restarted after around 30 minutes following a thunder storm in the first half.

Players had to return to their dressing rooms after thunder, lightning, heavy rain and even hail in Dortmund.

The score was at 0-0.

Bad weather had been forecast but the sky quickly cleared. However, the Dortmund turf took a hammering from a very heavy downpour.
