False fireplace alarm blares for a number of minutes at Women’s World Cup match between Portugal and U.S.

AUCKLAND, New Zealand — A fireplace alarm sounded for a number of minutes early within the second half of the United States match in opposition to Portugal on the Women’s World Cup on Tuesday. It was ultimately declared a false alarm in a public tackle announcement at Eden Park.

A minute or two into the second half of what was a 0-0 tie, the fireplace alarm sounded and an announcement blared, “Attention, attention, the fire alarms are sounding.” The alarm stopped simply because the stadium clock hit 50 minutes into the sport.
