Whirlwind sweeps through football match in Bolivia

There was a whirlwind start to a match in Bolivia after a ’dust devil’ rolled across the pitch as teams lined up before kick-off. ’Dust devils’ are small whirlwinds that pick up dust and debris as they roll over land. They are often mistaken for tornados, which form with a downward motion of wind as opposed to upward. The moment took place in the middle of a small tournament final in Achocalla. The powerful wind can be seen dragging clothes into the air as the teams disperse to avoid being hit by the whirlwind.
