Video: Dog steals the show during Turkish football match

KOCAELİ

A dog has stolen the show during a junior football league match in Turkey. 

Local media reported Feb. 4 that the incident was recorded in the western province of Kocaeli’s Gebze district during a recent match between U-14 football teams.

The dog, which was believed to have escaped from its owner in the stands, stole the ball and refused to give it back as young footballers chased him for minutes.

The referee put an end to the dog’s dribbling show by taking the ball and not restarting the game before the uninvited guest was evacuated from the field.
