On Tuesday night in Brazil's second division, ninth-place Náutico was scheduled to host Vasco da Gama in Recife with kickoff set for 6:00 p.m. ET.
But 13 minutes past the scheduled hour, Náutico had still not emerged from its dressing room while Vasco da Gama and the referees had already taken the pitch.

The USMNT vs. Uruguay friendly never got going in the way we imagined on Sunday night at Children's Mercy Park in Kansas City. At the end of the day, the main talking point is that Uruguay manager Diego Alonso made seven substitutions — Diego Rossi and Facundo Pellistri somehow entered the match together in the 68th minute when that obviously shouldn't have been allowed.
Con cinco goles de Lionel Messi, Argentina venció a Estonia y continúa su tour de la alegría.
La Albiceleste sumó 33 partidos sin perder y poco a poco se instala como una de las selecciones favoritas para quedarse con la Copa del Mundo Catar 2022. ¿Lo de Messi? Sensacional.
Prior to Argentina's friendly against Estonia at El Sadar in Pamplona on Sunday, Lionel Messi had only once registered five goals in a single game throughout his illustrious career. That was back in 2012 when Barcelona crushed Bayer Leverkusen 7-1 in the Champions League Round of 16.
The USMNT is flying after Wednesday's 3-0 friendly victory over fellow World Cup participants Morocco in Cincinnati, but a potential wakeup call awaits against Uruguay at Children's Mercy Park in Kansas City on Sunday evening.
Carlos Tevez is done playing professionally. The 38-year-old announced on Saturday that he will be hanging up his boots for good after 20 years of playing.
Tevez will be fondly remembered for his time in the Premier League with West Ham, Manchester United and Manchester City. The Argentine hasn’t played in the past year after he left Boca Juniors citing burnout. The loss of his father due to Covid-19 in Feb. 2021 also contributed to his decision.
Tottenham and South Korea star Son Heung-min had a humorous interaction with Brazil’s Fred on Thursday during a friendly match in Seoul. The result wasn’t ideal for South Korea and Son as the Brazil won the game 5-1. That didn’t stop Son from having some fun.
Mexico suffered its worst loss in nearly three years on Thursday when Edinson Cavani and Uruguay battered El Tri in a friendly game 3-0 at State Farm Stadium in Glendale, Arizona. Cavani was involved in all three of Uruguay’s goals against a rough looking Mexico side.
