Fans were left baffled after ITV's coverage of the World Cup match between Argentina and Saudi Arabia unexpectedly cut out during the Saudi national anthem.
The coverage of the match, which was hotly anticipated due to the first appearance of Lionel Messi at the tournament, was briefly halted as the Saudi Arabia team sang their national anthem.
A colourful error message popped up on the screen for a few seconds along with static sounds. Coverage dropped twice and ITV commentator Sam Matterface apologised for the mishap shortly after the glitch occurred. He said: "Welcome back here to the Lusail Stadium, north of Doha. Firstly, we'd like to apologise for the brief loss of pictures during the Saudi national anthem."
