FIFA had confirmed that they would scrap the hydration break during Mexico’s World Cup round of 32 tie against Ecuador, only to reverse their decision moments later.
Kick-off was delayed at the Azteca Stadium due to an electrical storm in the area that prevented the players from going onto the pitch to warm up.
In the end, they were forced to push back the time by an hour, affecting the controversial hydration breaks for the first time.
Hydration breaks have been the main talking point of the World Cup, mainly for the wrong reasons.
It looked like they were going to be removed from the game for the first time but, after Mexico went out onto the pitch to warm up, the decision was reversed and they were reinstated.
