"Due to the weather conditions, and the resulting unsuitable pitch conditions, the referee, in conjunction with the UEFA delegate, decided to abandon Thursday's UEFA Europa League Group E fixture between Estoril Praia and PSV Eindhoven before the start of the second half," UEFA said in a statement on their website.

Estoril were leading 3-2 when the game was abandoned after already heavy rain worsened during the halftime interval.

The match will be finished at 1600 GMT on Friday.
