Return Of The Fog Ruins Juventus-Bayer Clash
Wednesday 28th November 2001
Juventus's Champions' League clash with Bayer Leverkusen was postponed for the second week running on Wednesday night when thick fog descended on the Stadio delle Alpi. The game will be now played on Thursday afternoon.
Swiss referee Urs Meier inspected the pitch but waited until just before kick-off to make a final decision.
Fog scuppered the planned first encounter between the two sides, who both cancelled domestic Cup games this week to play the fixture.
Juventus were due to play Sampdoria while Bundesliga leaders Leverkusen missed their game against Bochum.
