The score was 4-0 in favor of Alebrijes Oaxaca when the furry intruder dashed onto the field. The dog’s primary target? The ball, which Dorados’ backup goalkeeper, Hernan Mendoza, had just retrieved. Sensing the dog’s enthusiasm, Mendoza wisely let go of the ball, allowing the canine to take control.
As the dog playfully dribbled the ball across the field, a stadium staff member humorously attempted to restrain the dog using a rope, initiating a playful chase. The scene was so comical that even the fourth official, maintaining his professionalism, indicated three minutes of added time amidst the ongoing canine chaos.

Two more staff members joined the chase, but the dog, enjoying its moment of fame, skillfully evaded them, gripping the ball firmly in its jaws. The dog’s antics, including teasingly slowing down to lure the chasers before sprinting away, had everyone in splits.
Commentators couldn’t resist joining in on the fun, chanting “Ole” in jest. Fans, both at the stadium and those watching remotely were thoroughly entertained. One viewer remarked, “That dog is a genius!” Another quipped, referencing a football team, “He handles the ball better than the entire @Chivas team.”
