Players couldn’t help but laugh when Linkin Park’s ‘Numb’ was played instead of the national anthem

Fans turned up at a football game between Slovakia and Malta and were all set to sing their national anthem proudly when stadium personnel played the wrong song.

Instead of playing Malta’s national anthem, the first two seconds of Linkin Park’s hit song Numb blared through the speakers at the ground, much to the amusement of the fans and players.

The error was quickly spotted and the song was stopped before the national anthem L-Innu Malti was played.

Unfortunately for Malta, they could have done with that song as they lost 1-0 to Slovakia with Adam Nemec scoring the winner.
