Parts from the roof of a World Cup stadium in Brazil fell on to the pitch during a storm, just hours before a regional championship.

Three pieces of metal used to collect water on the roof became detached and fell on the pitch near the benches, and also on to the stands at the Mineirao Stadium in the city of Belo Horizonte, which is scheduled to host a World Cup semi-final. No one was injured.
