A squirrel briefly stole the spotlight during FC Cincinnati's Matchday 26 clash with Charlotte FC at TQL Stadium on Saturday night, scampering onto the field and eliciting cheers from the crowd as it made its way across the pitch.

The squirrel joins a growing list of MLS's most unlikely pitch invaders, following Raccinho's memorable cameo in Philadelphia and a pair of baby pitch invaders – one last season at D.C. United's Audi Field and another just last month at San Jose's PayPal Park.

Who – or what – will be next?
