The BBC's coverage of England's World Cup round of 32 match against DR Congo experienced a brief outage, drawing a flood of complaints from viewers on social media. The disruption occurred in the second half as England, trailing 1-0, were pressing for an equaliser.
Broadcast Glitch During Key Moment
As England mounted an attack near the DR Congo goal, the BBC screen went blank for approximately five to ten seconds. During this period, England had a shot on goal, which was saved by DR Congo goalkeeper Lionel Mpase. Viewers were left frustrated, missing a pivotal moment in the match.
Fans quickly took to social media to voice their displeasure. One user joked, "I'd turn it off as well @BBC," while another asked, "BBC what was that????" A third viewer commented, "Did everyone miss that England chance on BBC or was my TV just bugging," and a fourth wrote, "And the feeds gone nice one BBC."
