Scotland's men's team made a promising start to their World Cup campaign, defeating Haiti 1-0 in their opening match.

The match, played at the Gillette Stadium in Boston, Massachusetts, was marked by a world-feed issue that left viewers at home staring at a patchy screen and subjected to a harsh buzzing sound.

The problem occurred shortly after John McGinn's deflected effort put Scotland 1-0 up in the first half, but was resolved within 10 seconds.

Scotland's manager Steve Clarke praised his team's focus, saying: 'We were a bit disappointed when the pictures went off, but the players' reaction was fantastic.'

The issue was not limited to Scotland's match, as the BBC commentary team experienced another technical problem during the previous Group C fixture between Brazil and Morocco. A bizarre conversation, likely from BBC production, was inadvertently broadcast nationwide.
