Young pitch invader ties up MLS security in hilarious viral moment

The Chicago Fire’s 3-2 win over St. Louis City in MLS wasn’t just memorable for the action on the field, but also for a young fan who completely stole the show.

During the match at SeatGeek Stadium, the youngster made a surprise run from the stands onto the pitch, dressed head to toe in football gear.

From there, she hilariously knotted two security guards – running circles around them as they struggled to keep up. At one point, she even half-dodged a player as she sprinted towards the penalty area.

Finally, out of breath, she turned back to the stands, only for her moment to be capped off perfectly by Chicago Fire forward Philip Zinckernagel, the Danish winger gently lifting her over the barrier and returning her to the crowd, to huge cheers.

The moment was filmed and quickly went viral, with social media users loving it as much as fans in the stadium.

“A truly world-class pitch invasion from this young Chicago Fire fan,” one fan joked on X. Another joked: “Yet ANOTHER assist for Zinckernagel. What can’t he do?”

Usually, invading land gets you in hot water – but not this time. If you’re going to do it, you better believe being a young rascal helps.
