Saturday's night match between Real Salt Lake and the LA Galaxy was a big one in terms of the Western Conference playoff race, but it was interrupted by an unexpected visitor.
A duck made its way onto the field at Rio Tinto Stadium and proceeded to halt play for a couple minutes as players and stadium staff were unable to get it off the field.
The duck quickly made waves on social media as Albert Rusnak was trying to line up a corner kick with the game tied 1-1.
We hear he's dangerous on the counteraquack. #RSLvLA https://t.co/ZCKbaAVUB3
