An unusual incident occurred during the regular MLS season when the Philadelphia Union played against New York City FC.
In the first half, with New York leading 1-0, a raccoon ran onto the field at high speed, heading towards the visitors' goal. The raccoon ended up running almost the entire length of the field twice before staff managed to catch it.
After the match, MLS officials calculated that the raccoon remained on the field for 161 seconds, setting a league record for raccoons.
Despite the raccoon's unexpected appearance, Philadelphia lost the home match 1-2. The Union have now gone five MLS matches without a victory.
