Kazakhstan's anthem played for El Salvador players ahead of friendly against Argentina in USA

AKIPRESS.COM - 989141-3ad893f0-d651-11e4-91d8-f0bc1d307f16 El Salvador players and fans were left bemused ahead of their friendly against Argentina when, instead of their national anthem, the stadium played the anthem of Kazakhstan.

The Central Americans ranked 89th in the world by FIFA were facing the World Cup runners-up at Washington DC's FedEx Field on Saturday but their large travelling support were unimpressed as the stadium DJ's mistake became apparent ahead of kick-off.

The players stood out on the pitch, with their hands across their chests looked confused at first, before becoming increasingly frustrated as boos rang out on to the field.

El Salvador was defeated by Argentina 0-2. Lionel Messi and Sergio Aguero scored for Argentina, according to FIFA website.
