During a match between Paysandu and Remo in the Para state championship, spectators witnessed a surprising interruption when a dog entered the field at the Mangueirão stadium, which boasts a capacity of 45,000 spectators. The unexpected visitor halted the action momentarily, much to the frustration of players and fans alike.
Remo striker Ratinho expressed his disappointment, stating, “It’s a shame. In a stadium of this size, with these supporters, this type of event should not happen.” Despite the interruption, the match ended in a goalless draw.
Meanwhile, in Argentina, a dog found its way onto the pitch not to disrupt play but to relieve itself in the back of the net, adding a touch of humor to the situation.
These incidents add to the folklore of South American football, where unexpected occurrences often take center stage. And as for the referee who made a call in the middle of a football match in Russia, it’s just another example of the unpredictable nature of the sport worldwide.
