THE BBC’s coverage of Wales vs North Macedonia was interrupted by a technical error on Tuesday.

Just over two minutes into the World Cup qualifier, coverage of the match was stopped.

Instead, a screen which read: “Temporary fault,” flashed up while the broadcaster scrambled to get the live feed going again.

Coverage of the match eventually continued around a minute-and-a-half later.

Fans were left baffled by the early issue, with one person taking to X to write: “Good start to the North Macedonia v Wales game on BBC.

“Someone in the commentary box also had their microphone on and was just having a general chat in the background as well 😂 #Cymru.”

Ahead of the match, Wales head coach Craig Bellamy said: “North Macedonia is a different game to Kazakhstan.

“We knew that beforehand so it hasn’t changed anything to what we’re looking to do.

“We’ve had to review the game quickly and there were some really positive bits.

“There were some things we need to improve on, but overall I’m very happy and it’s another game that allows us to progress.”

Asked if Wales were the underdogs going into the match, he continued: “I never see us an underdog. I’m not an underdog, I never have been. I will not accept that.

“Favourites? I hope so. It doesn’t mean you take it for granted. I always look at it as a game of football. Can we have fun? Can we enjoy it?”
