Raquinho the Raccoon: A Major League Soccer match between the Philadelphia Union and New York City FC was unexpectedly interrupted by an unusual guest when a raccoon darted onto the field, evading capture for an impressive 161 seconds.

The unusual incident occurred on Wednesday night at Subaru Park in Chester, Pennsylvania. As the match progressed, the raccoon suddenly appeared, causing a stir among players and spectators alike. Stadium workers embarked on a chaotic chase, attempting to capture the raccoon with trash cans.

“This is marvelous entertainment,” remarked play-by-play announcer Callum Williams as the scene unfolded. The chase quickly became a source of amusement for the crowd and those watching at home. The raccoon skillfully dodging attempts at capture and weaving through the field with remarkable agility.

“Raquinho the Raccoon” Becomes an Instant Sensation

Dubbed “Raquinho the Raccoon” by MLS on social media, the furry intruder earned cheers and applause from the audience. “At what point are we just rooting for him?” wondered announcer and former MLS player Calen Carr, reflecting the growing support for the raccoon among spectators.

The raccoon’s escapades provided a light-hearted diversion from the intense soccer action, as fans delighted in the impromptu entertainment. After a prolonged chase, stadium workers finally managed to corner Raquinho between two trash cans and safely removed it from the field. The raccoon’s antics set a new record for time spent on the field by an animal in MLS history.

“Raquinho the Raccoon spent 161 seconds on the field tonight, which was the most by a raccoon in @MLS history,”

the league tweeted humorously, acknowledging the unexpected record set by the pitch invader.

A team spokesperson confirmed that the raccoon was handed over to Hoffman’s Pest Control and safely released back into the wild. “Rest assured, our new friend was released unharmed,” the representative told USA Today.

The incident quickly went viral, with social media users sharing videos and memes of Raquinho’s daring escapade. Many praised the stadium workers for their persistence and humor in handling the situation.

As the Philadelphia Union and New York City FC resumed their match, the story of Raquinho the Raccoon continued to capture the imagination of fans and media outlets alike.
