English 3rd-tier league game halted because of drone

BRADFORD, England — An English third-tier game was temporarily delayed because a drone was hovering over the stadium on Saturday.

The referee halted play in the 65th minute of the Bradford-Bristol Rovers match at Valley Parade, and led the players from the field for their own safety. The players returned after a three-minute delay.

The teams were 0-0 at the time of the stoppage. The game finished 1-1.
