António Silva’s full name causes on-screen chaos on Sky Sports after Benfica exit | OneFootball

António Silva’s full registered name triggered an unexpected on-air glitch for Sky Sports during Bournemouth’s League Cup tie with Lincoln.

According to Glorioso 1904, the broadcaster displayed his complete name, António João Pereira Albuquerque Tavares da Silva, on the line-up graphic, which spilled into the tactical layout and briefly cluttered the screen.

There were no issues on the pitch. Silva started, played 82 minutes, and Bournemouth beat Championship side Lincoln 4-0 to reach the next round.

The centre-back joined from Benfica this summer in a €25 million deal, potentially rising by €5 million in add-ons.

It was his fourth start in four matches, after also being selected by Marco Rose in the opening three Premier League rounds. He has logged 352 minutes for Bournemouth this season, second only to James Hill on 360, underpinning an excellent start.
