Palmeiras beat Al Ahly at the Fifa Club World Cup after play was suspended for around 40 minutes in the second half because of "severe weather".
Referee Anthony Taylor halted the game in the 62nd-minute as dark clouds appeared over the MetLife Stadium in East Rutherford, New Jersey.
Players required a cooling break midway through the first-half with temperatures reaching 31C, but the heat also threatened to bring a lightning storm and Taylor was told to take the players off the field.
A message on the screen inside the stadium told supporters to "leave the Seating Bowl area and take shelter inside the stadium because of severe weather in the area."
The Brazilian club broke the deadlock shortly after half-time when Al Ahly defender Achraf Dari headed a free-kick into his own net.
That was the first goal scored by any team in Group A following a combined 257 minutes of action.
Palmeiras did not have to wait long to grab a second with substitute Jose Lopez doubling their advantage 10 minutes later.
Lopez had missed a golden opportunity just two minutes after his introduction at half-time, but showed strength and composure to wrap up a counter-attack.
Both goals came after Palmeiras were handed a reprieve by the video assistant referee after midfielder Raphael Veiga had a red card overturned.
Veiga, who scored in a 2-0 win during their last meeting with Al Ahly at the Club World Cup in 2022, was shown a straight red when referee Taylor deemed his challenge on Zizo was high and reckless.
However, the Premier League referee was told to review the incident on the pitchside monitor and subsequently reduced the punishment to a yellow card.
Speaking via his microphone on the pitch, Taylor said "contact is low on the foot and he [Veiga] does not leave the floor two-footed".
