On Friday (3), an opossum ran onto the court of the José Liberatti Gymnasium in the city of Osasco, Brazil, during the semifinal of the São Paulo State Women’s Volleyball Championship.
The Osasco team faced Barueri for a spot in the final. The two teams were playing the tiebreaker set, known as the “golden set,” when the opossum entered the court.
The live broadcast erupted in laughter after receiving the news that the animal had caused chaos.
The video shows the opossum heading toward the Barueri team, causing panic among the players, who ran away in desperation.

The captain of the Barueri team even suggested that the Osasco team might have released the animal to disrupt the game, but the referees stated there was no way to prove it.
Despite the chaos, Barueri’s team came out on top against Osasco and will play the grand final against Sesi Vôlei Bauru.
