The players were literally standing in the tunnel with others already on the benches of the empty Stadio Tardini, preparing to start the game behind closed doors.
At that moment, the referees called them back into the dressing room, having received the call that the Minister for Sport and FIGC were considering a total suspension of the Serie A season.
