Palmeiras Win After 50-Minute Weather Halt at Club World Cup

The FIFA Club World Cup Group A match between Brazil’s Palmeiras and Egypt’s Al Ahly was halted for about 50 minutes on Thursday after the U.S. National Weather Service issued a severe-thunderstorm alert for the area around MetLife Stadium in East Rutherford, New Jersey. Referee Anthony Taylor ordered players to the dressing rooms and officials evacuated spectators once lightning was detected within the 20-mile range that triggers the tournament’s safety protocol, which mandates at least a 30-minute pause. Palmeiras were leading 2-0 when play was stopped in the 63rd minute, thanks to a Wessam Abou Ali own goal six minutes after the interval and a left-footed strike from Argentine forward José “Flaco” López in the 59th. The match resumed without further incident, and the Brazilian side closed out the victory, moving to four points from two games and taking provisional control of the group. The stoppage is the third weather-related interruption in the first week of the expanded 32-team tournament, following delays in the Mamelodi Sundowns–Ulsan HD and Red Bull Salzburg–Pachuca fixtures. The recurrence of lightning alerts—despite largely clear skies when Thursday’s match was suspended—has intensified scrutiny of scheduling decisions as FIFA stages the competition during the United States’ summer storm season.
