Mexican fans tried to sneak booze into the Qatar World Cup stadium in a flask disguised as binoculars- but the hapless supporters were caught and it was confiscated.

Footage shows a fan dressed in a green football shirt standing next to three officials.

The supporter is at the security scanners which they have to go through to be let into the stadium. 

The other official holds them up to look through them- their intended use. But he then looks more closely.

As he unscrews the middle part, he smells it and realises that the man was trying to smuggle alcohol into the stadium. 

One of the officials appears to tell the other that there is something suspicious about the 'binoculars'.
