This decision was made so that spectators can conveniently use the metro after the football match ends.
In the second World Cup semifinal, the national teams of England and Argentina will meet. The match starts on July 15 at 22:00 Minsk time. The winner will advance to the tournament final, where they will face the Spanish national team, while the losing team will play for third place against the French.
