Brazil's & Switzerland clash briefly SUSPENDED after stadium floodlights go out

Brazil's World Cup clash with Switzerland was briefly suspended just before half-time after the stadium floodlights turned off and plunged the stadium into darkness.

The bizarre moment occurred shortly before half-time, just as Brazil were preparing to take a corner in their bid to break the deadlock at Stadium 974.

Just as the kick was preparing to be taken, all four stadium floodlights turned off simultaneously, leaving the players bemused, while the referee did his best to work out what was happening.

Thankfully, the lights turned on again less than 10 seconds later, allowing the game to resume without too much interference.
