Club World Cup clash suspended with delay of over an hour expected as ‘lightning is on the way’

BENFICA’s stormy Club World Cup clash with Auckland City has suffered a huge hold-up – as fans ran for cover from predicted lightning.

Organisers warned there could be a delay of more than an hour – with the Portuguese giants 1-0 up on the brink of half-time.

One warning predicted “excessive lightning” in the area of the Inter & Co Stadium in Orlando, Florida.

And supporters were spotted hiding in concourses amid heavy rain and thunderstorms.
