Big screens inside the stadium informed the crowd of 60,000 that the game had been halted due to “adverse weather conditions”.
Supporters in exposed seats were left to seek cover as water poured from the stadium’s roof.
Fan zones in Dortmund were also closed due to the weather conditions, local police told SID, an AFP subsidiary.
