Mexico vs. Ecuador Match Delayed Due to Weather Issues

The Round of 32 match between Mexico and Ecuador was delayed to 10 p.m. ET due to thunderstorms in Mexico City. Originally scheduled to kick off at 9 p.m. ET at Mexico City Stadium, bad weather and active lightning warnings prompted officials to push back the start time. The delay was announced approximately an hour before the scheduled 9 p.m. ET kickoff, according to FOX Sports' Rebecca Lowe.

Officials indicated that the delay would last about an hour while they waited for the lightning to cease. Updates were set to follow as the weather conditions evolved. The winner of this matchup is set to advance to the Round of 16 to face either England or DR Congo.
