Germany vs Denmark clash suspended after lightning strikes at Euro 2024.

By James Ellingworth.

A thunderstorm stopped play as Germany and Denmark met in the round of 16 at the European Championship on Saturday.

Eventually, the game was suspended.

The score was 0-0 in the 35th minute when the referee took the players off with rain pouring, high winds and repeated lightning strikes near the Westfalenstadion. A loud bang resounded around the stadium shortly before the players were taken off.

The winner goes on to play Spain or Georgia in the quarterfinals on July 5.
