Yesterday, following Brazil's 5-0 destruction over South Africa, a wandering child made his way to the pitch. Rather than allow security to handle him, Brazilian superstar Neymar took upon himself to raise the child. His compatriots followed suit.
That got us to thinking: What are the greatest pitch invasions of all time?
Below is a list of the best seven we could find.
7. Didn't Manu Ginóbili teach you guys anything? Don't touch the wildlife! Unfortunately for this footballer, he learned that the hard way.
6. An international match between England and Poland was called off due to rain. At least someone was man enough to take the field.
5. This man lived out every woman's fantasy: Engaging in a warm embrace with Cristiano Ronaldo in the 2013 International Champions Cup.
4. You can just imagine the drunken conversation in the stands. "This is hogwash. I bet we could score a proper goal, mate." Then, the two went out and did.
3. Salsbury City and Chester don't feature in the top flight of English football, but that doesn't mean their pitch invasions shouldn't. Though, this invader did take the term "top flight" a bit too literal.
2. How bad was a first-division match between Rosario Central and River Plate? This dog decided to voice his displeasure in a rather unorthodox fashion. That should tell you all you need to know.
1. A masseur took it upon himself to save his club when his goalkeeper couldn't in a Brazilian Serie D soccer match. Don't chase the man. Give him a professional contract for crying out loud!
