Man Interrupts Football Match After He Parachutes Into The Stadium, Gets Shown Yellow Card
A football game in Poland was bizarrely interrupted when a parachutist made an emergency landing right in the middle of the match.
The match, between the Olimpia Elblag and PISA Primavera Barczewo in the Polish fifth division, had to be halted briefly and the referee saw the funny side by showing the parachutist a yellow card. That deserved right, though!

The game only resumed after the invader gathered up his parachute, with some help from staff, and was escorted off the field.
As the PISA Primavera Barczewo players made an attacking run and moved up the pitch in Elblag, the airborne invader made an unexpected appearance - and nearly flew into an Olimpia Elblag player.

The players took evasive action and moved out of the way and the football commentator began laughing at the bizarre situation.
After the interruption, the match restarted, and Olimpia came out on top 6-3. As for the skydiver, there's extra reason to be more careful next time - one more yellow card means an ejection.
Poland provided a masterclass, and the person who recorded the video at the exact time also deserves a lot to of credit. Everything was taken in good spirit which is great to see.
In 2019, a man parachuted onto the pitch during Italy's to division football match between Inter Milan and Sassuolo.

The man from Milan had taken off in a wingsuit and a helmet featuring a camera from the nearby Reggio Campovolo airport and glided onto the pitch near the centre circle, thus interrupting the game.
He was then removed from the field by stewards during a short delay. Fortunately, the surprise arrival of the parachutist caused no damage to any players or the pitch itself.
