Dog causes chaos during game as it invades pitch before biting ball and escaping capture

FOOTBALL matches are usually invaded by the odd fan trying to grab their 10 seconds of glory.

But not often do you see a dog sprinting on the pitch, swooping the ball and outrunning the security.

But Mexican second-division side Alebrijes de Oaxaca’s 4-0 win on Thursday against Dorados was overshadowed, as a four-legged superstar became the unexpected star of the match.

The dog darted onto the pitch just before the game’s went to extra time.

Security were spotted trying to get hold of the dog as he darted across the ground with the game ball in his mouth.

Staff embarrassingly failed to capture the dog, much to the hilarity of fans.

In total, they spent a whole minute attempting to chase it off the pitch.

The match eventually finished and Alebrijes secured their win.

Shortly after the game the Mexican side took to social media to confirm the safety of the dog, calling it “our new best friend”.

Fans took to the comments to express their reaction to the bizarre event.
