Chelsea manager, Enzo Maresca, was left fuming after it took almost five hours to complete their Club World Cup last-16 clash with Benfica on Saturday.
With five minutes left, the game was delayed due to adverse weather.
Maresca has now described the situation as a joke and not football.
Chelsea were 1-0 up at the time the players were instructed to leave the pitch. Angel Di Maria made it 1-1 from the penalty spot after resumption.
Benfica had Gianluca Prestianni sent off, before the Blues took advantage to score three times through Christopher Nkunku, Pedro Neto and Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall.
