The most agile athlete on the field of Wednesday's game between the Philadelphia Union and New York City FC was nocturnal.
The 21st minute saw a raccoon invade the field at Subaru Park and evade capture for the next two minutes, despite a persistent effort from a Union grounds crew armed with trash cans. The furry Philadelphian was eventually led into a trap and caught in a can.
The effort won over the hearts of the crowd and the Apple TV broadcasters, who urged the raccoon to "go on" as the crew circled.
