BBC's World Cup commentary was seemingly hacked live on air during the Brazil vs Morocco match, leaving fans baffled. The incident occurred in the early stages of the second half as Vinicius Jr looked to double his tally for the evening.
What Happened During the Broadcast?
BBC were broadcasting the Group C opener between record World Cup holders Brazil and Morocco, who were embroiled in a controversial Africa Cup of Nations final with Senegal earlier this year. The coverage had been relatively seamless until Jon Champion and Alan Shearer saw their voices overshadowed on the airwaves. There was no change in picture, but the error was audible as a voice said: "Thank you. 1, 2, 3, 4, 5. Go, go, go. Do you want to speak to me on the cord on the headset or are you not bothered about that? Yeah, two secs then."
Social Media Reaction
One user on social media platform X said: "Some random guy just started talking in the BBC commentary for Brazil vs Morocco?" The incident quickly gained attention, with many viewers expressing confusion. The BBC has not yet commented on the disruption.
This is a developing story, and more updates will follow as information becomes available.
