Weather Forces Delay in Mexico vs Ecuador World Cup Match
The round of 32 match between Mexico and Ecuador has been postponed to 10 p.m. ET due to thunderstorms in Mexico City, with officials announcing the delay approximately an hour before the originally scheduled 9 p.m. ET kickoff.
Despite the change in start time, a hydration break will still be held in each half of Tuesday night's match, ensuring player safety remains a top priority.
The match, initially set to kick off at 9 p.m. ET at Mexico City Stadium, was delayed due to heavy rain and active lightning warnings in the area, as reported by FOX Sports' Rebecca Lowe, with the postponement expected to last approximately an hour.
Further updates will be provided as the weather situation develops, with the winner of this crucial matchup advancing to the Round of 16 to face either England or DR Congo.
