  /  autty

The game between Borussia Dortmund and Atalanta in the playoff round of the UEFA Champions League was delayed by 15 minutes ahead of the originally scheduled kick-off time due to the German team bus arriving late to the stadium.

The game will kick off at 21:15 local time which will allow players, staff, fans, and match officials to prepare everything necessary before kick-off at the Signal Iduna Park.

In a post on social media, Dortmund wrote: “Due to our team’s delayed arrival, kickoff will be postponed by 15 minutes.”

The Atalanta Twitter account kindly added that the delay is due to nothing other than a bit of traffic on the way to the ground.
