Kick-off was delayed for about 30 minutes while officials waited for a snake tamer to arrive.

“There’s a small black snake with a red belly on the ground at this moment, in one of the far pockets,” Giants women’s soccer team captain Brianna Harvey told Fox during the delay.
“The temperature here is 34 degrees, and we are surrounded by jungles, so I think it is not surprising,” she added.
