A completely unexpected scene unfolded in MLS. During the match between San Jose and Minnesota, play was briefly interrupted by a highly unusual pitch invasion: a baby somehow made its way onto the field.

With the match still in progress, the young child entered the field, causing a few moments of confusion but, above all, plenty of smiles.
