⛈️ Golf ball-sized hail halts Leverkusen's DFB-Pokal match

The first DFB-Pokal round is in full swing - at least in Gütersloh and Saarbrücken!

In Aspach, where Bayer Leverkusen currently wants to secure their entry into the second round against the regional league team SG Sonnenhof Großaspach, the ball only rolled for about 17 minutes. After that, rain, hail, and finally storm gusts, lightning, and thunder caused referee Michael Bacher to have to interrupt the game with the score at 0:0. 

Even after about a ten-minute break, there is still no sign that the game can continue quickly. Therefore, fans and players are probably waiting for an extensive overtime.
