The referee stopped the match in Donetsk after four minutes amid lightning and torrential rain.

Staff at the Donbass Arena have been making holes in the pitch with forks to aid drainage.

Tournament regulations stipulate that the remaining time must be played the next day in the event that the referee declares conditions unfit for play and abandons the match.
