Kangaroo Crashes Soccer Match, Relaxes On Field

CANBERRA, Australia (CBS Local) —  A kangaroo dashed onto the field and laid down during the halftime break of an Australian women's soccer match.

He made a return appearance during the second half of the match.

The game was delayed for a half-hour while the kangaroo bounced, relaxed, and entertained spectators.

Eventually, a groundskeeper behind the wheel of a pickup truck managed to chase him away for good.

Officials say the kangaroo was unhurt and took off for his natural habitat.
