However, after the first half, an error left viewers without sound.

An apology flashed up on the screen as a wide shot of the Estadio Jose Alvalade remained in the background.

Sound was then restored after a few short moments, as the half-time show got underway.

SunSport have contacted ITV for comment.

A Portuguese band provided the half-time entertainment for a jubilant looking crowd.

The stars then re-emerged on to the pitch to resume the game.

Portugal legend Pauleta opened the scoring in the 16th minute after diving to connect for a Ricardo Quaresma chip.

The likes of Oleksandr Usyk , Kaka , Petr Cech , Luis Figo and Carles Puyol were all in attendance at the charity game too.

Helder Postiga added a second goal for the hosts in the second half.

However, the World XI pulled one back after Alessandro Del Piero played a clever pass into Michael Owen .

The former England ace then poked the ball into the net past the goalkeeper with ease to halve the deficit.

THIS IS A DEVELOPING STORY..
