A so-called "network wiper" has led to the failure of Flutlichts and an elfminutigen break in the game of the women's World Cup between Canada and Nigeria (0-1).


Berlin (SID) - A so-called "network wiper" has resulted in the failure of Flutlichts and an elfminutigen break in the game of the women's World Cup between Canada and Nigeria (0-1). Have switched the floodlights, and had been "irritated" the emergency generator in the Rudolf-Harbig-Stadion after an only single second-power failure in a switching facility in Dresden said Winfried wet, OK responsible for the equipment of the World Cup stadiums. Why the emergency generator not again have started the lighting, would need still to be examined.


"This is new and has never occurred." "I have been working for years at sporting events, but something is not known to me," wet said: "We must now find the error." "Therefore it would be presumptuous to say that this will happen no longer." Until noon on Wednesday, the Organizing Committee shall provide a report the World Football Association FIFA.


Wet asked pardon for all spectators and the players. Security at the stadium had been guaranteed at any time.
