With the ball out for a goal kick, the picture froze.
Even the commentator was confused, believing the half-time whistle had been blown.
But the timer in the top left of the screen continued to tick, showing two minutes stoppage time had not yet been played.

Caoimhín Kelleher transfer brings buzz to low-key Ireland summer camp
It wouldn't be a June window without absences and distractions. Caoimhin Kelleher has provided both ahead of the Republic of Ireland's pair of friendlies with Senegal and Luxembourg and not a soul is complaining. In London on Monday to firm up his switch from Liverpool to Brentford, the goalkeeper was back in situ in Abbotstown the next day for training before news of his five-year deal finally emerged from his new Premier League employers. Ireland assistant manager John O'Shea faced the same sort of decision a generation ago when, after over a decade hoovering up medals at Old Trafford, a dwindling of first-team opportunities prompted him to leave Manchester United for Sunderland. Speaking before Kelleher's news became official, O'Shea was already sure that Ireland are in good hands. 'It's not an easy thing for him to do. He's proven the quality that he has every time he's been asked to go in as the number one for Liverpool, the run of games that he's shown, that he's been able to show the consistency… 'He's shown when he's had a run that they haven't missed Alisson when he's been injured. That's what the whole of Europe and the whole of the world has seen when CaoimhÍn has been in goal for Liverpool. So whatever happens, I'm sure we'll get the benefit of it.' Read More Brentford announce signing of Caoimhín Kelleher from Liverpool Manager Heimir Hallgrimsson has stated consistently that every player's club situation is different while confirming an overriding preference for his men to bank as much game time as possible. O'Shea seconded that. Kelleher as a first-choice Premier League player firms up the impression of a national side with lots of defensive options. If there has been headway made in terms of the forward line, then the stagnation of Evan Ferguson's career is still a cause for frustration. A loan spell at West Ham United didn't go as hoped although the teenager impressed with Ireland in the spring. He has 'trained excellently' the last few days, according to O'Shea who highlighted the need for players to keep doing what they do best regardless of circumstance. 'I mentioned it in March: it's just a case that you can't sit and sulk about it. The Premier League is that elite level that at the minute … You see all the teams already trying to get players in, trying to get business done early. 'If they can, the competition, you have to be at it and on it every day possible, doing everything you can. And if you do that and you're not getting in the team, you hold your hands up and you say fair enough.' Ireland have no injury concerns among the men called to arms this week, which is just as well given the number of Championship players already given the summer off for a spot of R&R and the low-key nature of the month's business. There isn't a huge to-do list against Senegal and Luxembourg. A pair of losses wouldn't be ideal given the momentum built up against Bulgaria in March and those qualifiers to come in September, but this is really about small gains. Some of the new faces will get a run and who knows what that may bring. 'Listen, if we get players to have an impact this week in the friendlies that suddenly help us qualify or score a goal to qualify for us for the World Cup, I think you'll say it was definitely worthwhile,' said O'Shea. Killian Phillips and John Joe Patrick Finn are two big men who will look to make an impression in the middle if given the chance and Josh Honohan has been 'having a good battle ' with Festy Ebosele in training. The coaches speak about how players need to show their personalities. The harsh fact of it is that opportunities can be fleeting and even signs of real promise can be superseded by obstacles further down the path. Kasey McAteer and Bosun Lawal, for example, both made inroads with Ireland in the last 12 months. Both have since found injuries hampering their hopes of building on that with Leicester City and Stoke City respectively. There will be no Sadio Mane on the Senegal side on Friday evening but the visitors still boast a side of some class with players assembled from eleven different countries. Four of them come from England's Premier League. As friendlies go, it beats Qatar or New Zealand. 'They will have different attributes, but also they have that quality of maybe a top European team that can hurt you on transition attacks, technical ability, speed. So we have to be very careful in terms of when we are attacking, that we're not leaving ourselves vulnerable. 'They have that pace and power to hurt you. They've obviously been on a very good run themselves too, a run of form. So don't concede too many goals. It'll be a very good test for the lads.'

Bruno Fernandes ‘wants to stay at the highest level' as he turns down Saudi move
Manchester United captain Bruno Fernandes has confirmed he has turned down a money-spinning move to Saudi Arabia because he wants to 'stay at the highest level'. The 30-year-old midfielder has been the subject of speculation linking him with a £100million switch to Al Hilal, with the Saudi Pro League side reportedly prepared to pay him £700,000 per week. However, Fernandes confirmed he had rejected the chance to move after speaking to Ruben Amorim and his family. Ruben Amorim is hoping to rebuild the United side (Martin Rickett/PA) 'The president of Al Hilal called me a month ago to ask about the possibility of me moving there,' Fernandes told a Portugal press conference, according to Portuguese outlet O Jogo. 'I had to wait a while to think about the future. As I've always said, I would be willing to do it if United thought it was best to move on. 'I spoke with Ruben Amorim, who really tried to talk me out of it. 'I spoke to the club, who said they weren't willing to sell me, only if I wanted to leave. I'm still very passionate about this sport...I'm happy with my decision 'From my side, it was a very ambitious proposal, the president was a fantastic person. I never talked about the money, it ended up coming up later, with my agent. 'I had to make the decision as a family and understand what I wanted for my future. That was the question my wife asked, what my professional goals would be. At no point did she say yes or no, she always supported me and put my professional side first. 'It was an easy move, even at a family level. I had Ruben Neves, Joao Cancelo. My children are used to playing with theirs. 'But I simply want to stay at the highest level, playing in the big competitions, because I still feel capable of that. Gary Neville, pictured, has hailed Bruno Fernandes' character (Mike Egerton/PA) 'I want to continue to be happy and do what I love most. I'm still very passionate about this sport. It's my way of seeing football and I'm happy with my decision.' As rumours of Fernandes' decision circulated earlier in the day, former United and England defender Gary Neville welcomed the reports as Amorim starts the process of reshaping his squad following a dismal season. Neville told Sky Sports News: 'It's significant. Our first signing of the summer has been agreed 🇧🇷✍️#MUFC — Manchester United (@ManUtd) June 1, 2025 'To turn that money down at a point where Manchester United are at their lowest ebb and say, 'No, I want to fight through this, I want to see it through the other side, I want to come out and achieve things,' I think it says a lot about him as a person, as a character.' United have already made one move in the transfer market this summer by signing Brazil forward Matheus Cunha from Wolves, and they are also being heavily linked with Brentford forward Bryan Mbeumo. Departures could include Jadon Sancho, although latest reports have suggested Chelsea are prepared to pay a penalty fee to escape an obligation to make his current loan permanent. Seemingly in anticipation of his Stamford Bridge exit, Sancho posted on X on Tuesday night: 'Grateful for the experience. Big love to everyone at Chelsea who made me feel at home — team-mates, staff and the fans. Wishing the club all the best moving forward. Truly grateful, thank you Blues.'

Bruno Fernandes breaks silence on his Man United transfer decision
Manchester United skipper Bruno Fernandes has spoken out after turning down a lucrative switch to Al-Hilal of the Saudi Pro League. It is understood that Fernandes gave serious thought to switching sides this summer. His representative, Miguel Pinho, had discussions with the club from the Middle East regarding a staggering £100million deal, and Man Utd did not rule out the idea of cashing in on their star man. However, as of Tuesday, it was reported that Fernandes had decided against the move to Al-Hilal following family deliberations. The United playmaker has now opened up about his choice whilst away on international duty. "There was an opportunity," he revealed during Portugal's press conference before their match on Tuesday night. "The president called me and asked if I wanted to go there. "They were waiting for me. I spoke to coach [Ruben] Amorim. He asked me not to go.", reports the Manchester Evening News. "Manchester United didn't want to sell me. They don't need the money. If I had wanted to leave, they would have made it happen." He also said: "Al Hilal were very kind. They spoke to my agent. Then I spoke to my wife. She asked: 'What do you want to do?' She always supports my decisions. "It would have been easy to move there. I know the Portuguese players there very well. But I want to play at the highest level and compete for major titles. "I can do that, and I still want to. I'm very passionate about football." Since joining from Sporting in January 2020, Fernandes has netted 98 goals and supplied 86 assists in all competitions for the Reds. His existing contract at United is due to run out in June 2027.
