French television viewers were left thinking that Antoine Griezmann had scored an injury-time equaliser against Tunisia when the station TF1 cut to an ad break believing the final whistle had gone.
Griezmann volleyed home to cancel out Wahbi Khazri’s stunning opener for the North Africans and New Zealand referee Matthew Conger appeared to blow to signal the end of the game. That was the cue for the French station to go to a break - but Conger was then summoned to view a pitch-side monitor.
And after deciding that Griezmann was offside and interfering with play, he ruled the goal out. Viewers had no idea about the drama taking place at the Education City Stadium. And it was only when the programme resumed that presenters in the studio were able to explain that the world champions had been beaten.
