Game delayed after referee noticed penalty area is too small

A match in Brazil was delayed after the referee noticed the penalty area was too small. Referee Alisson Furtado paused the game, despite the two teams already being on the field, to allow stadium workers to paint the correct markings on the pitch. The area was found to be 2.5 metres under the required distance. The game between Uniao Rondonopolis and Atletico Goianiense eventually began, the away team winning the game 1-0
