In a match in the quarterfinals of the club World Cup, Chelsea Benfica defeated 4-1 after extra time to continue to the quarterfinals.
The match started at 16:00 EST on June 28, but in the 88th minute the game was interrupted due to a serious thunderstorm -warning published in Charlotte, where the game was held.
Since then, the recovery time of the race has been repeatedly postponed due to lightning strike in the nearby 10 km. Only after an interruption of almost two hours was the game finally resumed.
When the stop time came, a handball from Gusto's box led to a penalty for Chelsea, and Di Maria made the game the same in an instant and the game went to extra time.
Benfica striker Prestiani, however, was sent shortly after extra time with two yellow and one red, so that Chelsea could play an extra man almost the whole extra time, and they also scored three goals in a row to win.
The match ended at 8:39 PM Est, 279 minutes after the start of the game. Sam Wallace, a reporter for De Telegraaf who reported the scene, joked before the game resumed: “The final of Wimbledon is much shorter than that.”
