Atalanta v Como delayed due to heavy rains

Weather problems put Atalanta and Como in trouble at the Gewiss Stadium. The two sides met to bring the fifth round of Serie A fixtures to a close and the start of the game had to be delayed.
Heavy rains came down and the pitch was flooded with water, forcing the referee to postpone the kick-off. The referees are scheduled to inspect the pitch again at 21.45 CEST and will then decide on whether or not to play the match.
Despite the poor condition of the pitch, both teams went out to warm up and it could already be seen that the ball was not running and the pitch was unplayable.
