BBC viewers were left confused during the Brazil vs Morocco World Cup match when the commentary was seemingly hijacked by a TV director. The incident occurred early in the second half, with viewers hearing an unexpected voice say: "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."
The error was audible but did not affect the picture. Social media users quickly reacted, with one saying: "Some random guy just started talking in the BBC commentary for Brazil vs Morocco?" Another joked: "BBC commentary made me think I'm having auditory hallucinations for a sec..."
The match itself ended in a 1-1 draw, with Vinicius Jr scoring for Brazil and Ismael Saibari for Morocco. Scotland, watching on, later beat Haiti 1-0 in their group opener.
This was not the only technical issue for the BBC, as earlier footage showed pundit Scott Brown receiving instructions while presenter Kelly Cates prepared for the Scotland match.
