This isn’t the kind of dive you’ll usually see on a soccer field.

A game in Poland’s fifth tier on Sunday between the Olimpia Elblu0105g reserve team and PISA Primavera Barczewo was interrupted by a skydiver landing in the midfield circle right in the middle of play.

Everyone on the ground handled the bizarre situation pretty calmly. The players scurried out of the way of the airborne pitch invader, the announcer let out a hearty chuckle and the referee responded by showing the parachutist a yellow card.

That is some impeccable comedic timing by the ref.
