Nations League in Austria: Mysterious hole in the Happel

Austria's team boss Rangnick thinks he is "in the wrong movie". First, a power failure delays the game by 90 minutes, then there is a hole in the center circle of the lawn.

After the game had to be kicked off 90 minutes late, a deep hole in the field of Vienna's Ernst Happel Stadium caused a stir after the final whistle.

Danish striker Andreas Skov Olsen discovered the hole in the center circle after the final whistle.

TV footage showed him and some of his team-mates stepping into the center circle hole, half of Skov's lower leg disappearing into it.

It is probably a result of the heavy rains during the night from Sunday to Monday.

As a result, the groundwater level has risen due to the nearby Danube.

The groundwater would have pressed onto the playing surface from below, explained the managing director of the Austrian Football Association (ÖFB), Bernhard Neuhold, on Tuesday.
