A snippet of Linkin Park’s hit track Numb blared out over the speakers instead of the Maltese national anthem during Slovakia’s friendly with Malta  at the Zilina Stadium last night.

The error was quickly rectified and l-Innu Malti was played. At least one Maltese player appeared to see the funny side when the few seconds of Numb played out over the tannoy.

The friendly match saw Malta suffering a narrow 1-0 defeat.
