Sky Sports were left apologising after there were three mistakes made on Soccer Saturday during the first half of a match.
The season began for League One and League Two clubs with Barnsley facing Plymouth Argyle in the season opener.
And things did not go to plan on Soccer Saturday with a number of errors made during the first half.
Former QPR man Jamie Mackie had the job of giving updates from the game from the Sky Sports studio.
The match was only five minutes old when host Julian Warren turned to the pundit for him to inform viewers that Caleb Watts had opened the scoring.
However, there was confusion with the goal being ruled out due to a foul in the build-up.

Another awkward moment followed when Brendan Sarpong-Wiredu put the ball into his own net.
Presenter Warren said: ‘Goal for Plymouth, we have heard this before. Does this one count, Jamie Mackie?’
The scoreboard on the screen had put it down as 1-0 to Plymouth with a sheepish Mackie then forced to correct it.
‘It is a Plymouth player that scored… but it is at the wrong end,’ he said before the graphic was quickly changed.
Warren was then forced to clarify, saying: ‘It is Barnsley who are in front. Apologies for the slight moment of excitement for you Plymouth fans, only to find out you’re behind.’
And there was more to come as Barnsley then doubled their lead through Adam Phillips.
Sky accidentally updated the score on the vidiprinter to say that it was still 1-0.
And Warren, who saw the funny side, was again left having to clean up the mess, saying: ‘I think the vidiprinter might still be on holiday, lying on a lounger with a couple of pina coladas.’
Barnsnley went on to win the game 3-1 and fortunately the broadcast ran much more smoothly in the second half.
