Baby invades pitch to briefly halt San Jose v Minnesota United | OneFootball

Minnesota United won 5-1 at San Jose. According to L'Équipe, play was briefly halted in stoppage time when a baby wandered onto the pitch.

A steward lifted the smiling child and took them from the field, and the match quickly resumed.

The incident was shown live on Apple TV and sparked amused reactions on social media.

Minnesota later shared the clip, joking that the margin felt like taking money from a baby, and also referenced a previous raccoon pitch invasion during one of their games.

Details around how the child reached the pitch remain unknown. Head coach Cameron Knowles laughed about it in his press conference, saying it was a bit early for a lifetime stadium ban.
