BBC issue apology as live coverage cuts off during Wales vs Iran World Cup clash

The BBC were forced to apologise after their live coverage for Wales' key World Cup group game with Iran went offline for a few seconds.

Rob Page's men were facing a key clash on Friday morning having earned just a point against the USA last time out. Whilst Welsh fans will no doubt have been glued to the coverage no matter where they were watching it, they were left frustrated as the footage completely disappeared only minutes before the half-time interval.

The live broadcast halted and was accompanied by a high-pitched tone. An error screen adorned with the Qatar 2022 World Cup logo briefly appeared before the coverage was eventually restored.
