🌧️ Rain delays Remo v Palmeiras by over 90 minutes | OneFootball

The Brasileirão match between Remo and Palmeiras kicked off later than scheduled this Sunday (10).

Rain flooded part of the pitch at Mangueirão stadium, and the start of the match, previously set for 4 p.m., was initially delayed by just half an hour. 

But the rain kept falling, and the game only actually began at 5:40 p.m., more than 90 minutes later than planned.

The match referee, Rafael Klein, even went onto the pitch around 4 p.m. to test the field, but the ball was clearly not rolling properly in some areas.

The same problem had already happened in another match scheduled at Mangueirão in this championship.

In April, the clash between Remo and Vasco also started late because of waterlogged spots on the field.

On that occasion, kickoff was scheduled for 4:30 p.m., and the ball got rolling 20 minutes later.
