Lightning in the area caused fans to have to leave the stadium less than an hour before the scheduled kickoff.

Some fans still waiting outside during the rain were covered with umbrellas, ponchos, trash bags and even flags.

The announced attendance was 63,237 people. This is yet another international soccer match at Camping World Stadium this summer, following a Team USA friendly against Brazil and Copa America matches.

The next international soccer match is in September.
