Dog interrupts international football match

The dog was living its best life

In a hilariously cute and yet, slightly inconvenient moment, a dog paraded itself onto a football pitch to interrupt a game between Chile and Venezuela. During a friendly match between the two women's teams, a black Labrador stole the show, delighting both the players and the crowd. Saturday's match at the Estadio La Granja stadium in Curicó finished 1-0 in favour of Venezuela. At around the 36th minute, with neither team having scored, the playful pooch strolled onto the pitch and essentially demanded belly rubs from Chile's goalkeeper Christine Endler, rolling over to provide better access.

From there, the dog pranced over to the referee and rolled over once more before sprinting to the technical area, according to Givemesport. Players attempted to capture the animal numerous times, but the dastardly pup had them beat until two Chilean players were quick enough to transport it off the pitch. The adorable video has since gone viral on social media, where one person wrote: "Just makes me smile." Another said: "Dog invades pitch at International soccer game. Won't leave unless both teams give him tummy rubs. https://twitter.com/melhomer/status/1541336165021675520 "This is the happiest dog alive, and possibly just what you need to watch right now. (1 min in for maximum pats)."
