We all know that how much we get carried away when we spectate a soccer match. Well, sometimes it makes us feel that we’d do better than the pros if we were at the field. Yet here we are, sitting on the benches screaming out till we can’t utter a word anymore.
We don’t own the power to stop an on-going match, right? But who can, expect the referee?
How about a dog? You didn’t see that coming right? Huh
It was on December 24th, the match between Nacional Potosí and The Strongest at the Hernando Siles Stadium in La Paz, Bolivia has started. It was then a pooch decided to take the attention of the whole world by stopping the match for whole three minutes.
He stole a soccer boot and was running in the pitch. What he got in return was belly rubs from the players before he was taken away by Raúl Castro, a player from the home team.
This furball was named as Cachito. Not he won the hearts of thousands of fans, it seems like he brought the charm to the home team. They won the match in the Christmas Eve by 3-0. And if you think it’s the end. Well, you my friend, is wrong.
