An international friendly between the women's national teams of Venezuela and Chile had an invader take over the pitch during the first half of their Saturday match.
However, it wasn't a person.
A dog ran onto the pitch in the 37th minute, making friends with members of both teams and even the referee.
While Venezuela went on to win 1-0, the unexpected pitch invader was undoubtedly the star of the show.

Back in 2016, a dog interrupted a game between men's teams Pumas UNAM and Deportivo Tachira.
