THE BBC was forced to apologise after suffering a technical fault during its coverage of the Kabaddi World Cup.
The incident occurred in Monday afternoon’s match between Hungary and Hong Kong China.
The latter stormed to an incredible 73-20 win in Wolverhampton.
But fans watching at home missed part of the game after the BBC suffered a major glitch.
For starters, there was no audio available at all on their live iPlayer stream.
It resulted in a yellow band being posted on the screen, which read: “We apologise for the loss of audio on this stream.”
But things got even worse when the video footage cut out completely too.
Gutted supporters were left facing a generic logo.
And a new message read: “Sorry for the break in transmission.
“We are working to fix this.”

Kabaddi fans quickly jumped off the BBC’s coverage to instead watch the action on YouTube.
The match was also being broadcast live on the video streaming platform.
But they too suffered an outage as supporters were greeted with a black screen featuring a pink square in the centre.
The footage then changed to a multi-coloured pattern as the coverage continued to be missed.
Eventually, both the BBC and YouTube got the action back on.
And it arrived just in time for the all-British battle between Scotland and Wales.
But the BBC still had no sound on air.
SunSport has contacted the BBC for comment.
