Canada vs Nigeria

At 22:13 CEST, in the 72nd minute, the match was interrupted due to a power outage of the stadium's floodlights. The match resumed at 22:24 CEST.[14] Though the elapsed time was initially counted in the match report,[15] FIFA later amended the minutes of the match events to exclude the stoppage of play caused by the power outage.
