Copa America: Second half of Colombia v/s Chile resumes

The second half of Wednesday's Copa America semi-final between Chile and Colombia in Chicago was delayed due to lightning and heavy rains. After a delay of two and a half hours, the players are finally back on the field to finish the game.

With Chile leading 2-0 at the break, fans at Soldier Field were advised to take shelter before an announcement was made that the second half would be delayed. "Due to inclement weather in the immediate stadium vicinity, tonight's Copa America Centenario match at Soldier Field has been temporarily suspended," authorities said.
