<p>Some much needed excitement was injected into the 1-1 draw between Macedonian side FK Vardar and Norwegian champions Rosenborg in Skopje on December 7 by dog invading the field of play.</p><p>The Europa League fixture in FK Vardar’s Philip II Arena was halted briefly as the home team lined up a free kick only for fans to turn their attention to the canine intruder. The dog wandered into the center of the field, where FK Vardar’s goalkeeper went to meet him.</p><p>The keeper’s attempt to make friends with the pooch didn’t work out however and soon stadium officials arrived to run the dog — who was being cheered wildly by the crowd — off the pitch.
