An announcement was eventually made over the public address system about 20 minutes after the scheduled 7:45 pm kick-off, apologizing for the delay and saying it "was due to an issue behind the scenes. We're trying to resolve it and we'll keep you updated".
To pass more time, music was pumped from the speakers. Players from both teams finally emerged onto the field about 40 minutes after the match was supposed to begin.
The players warmed up again for 10 minutes before they returned inside the tunnel to be led out again for the national anthems.
