IRL streamer NEON struggled to get into the game to watch Spain and Belgium at the World Cup on Friday.
Spain ended up securing a 2-1 win and have booked their place in the semi-finals of the tournament against France.
Ahead of the match kicking off, NEON dressed up as Spanish national team star Lamine Yamal, but he had an issue with his ticket that prevented security from letting him inside.

One security guard was initially going to let the streamer into the stadium so he could watch the game.
But in a video shared on X/Twitter, a second guard can be heard saying, 'no, no, we need a real ticket'.
NEON went on to say that he 'scanned to get in twice', but it appeared as though he did not have the ticket on his phone, but instead only had the screenshot of a ticket, which the security did not want to accept.
He is later heard saying 'look I'm Lamine Yamal', though that did not seem to make the security change their mind about letting him into the match.
After another guard came over, the streamer explained: "I just got the tickets 30 minutes before the game, so there was no time to transfer them, so he walked me in, so they had to scan them twice, my friend, these are the tickets."
One of the security team members later added: "You're not doing nothing wrong, we just can't take screenshots for you to get to where you need to get to."
NEON eventually rang the person who scanned him in the first time, but the clip ends without the streamer being allowed into the actual stands themselves and being told to wait.
At the time of writing, NEON has not shared an update via his Instagram confirming whether or not he was eventually able to get into the Spain vs Belgium match.
