This Saturday, the football ground of the municipality of Ilckley Town, in the north of England, was the scene of a scene which is to say the least unusual.

An alpaca broke onto the pitch in the middle of a match between the 11th division club Ilckley and the team from Carlton, a suburb of Leeds, report our colleagues from

Whoever went to the stadium was very curious about what was going on around him.

“It took us twenty minutes to get him to leave the area,” said Richard Giles, club president.

60,000 alpacas in Great Britain

Once the alpaca agreed to leave the scene, the meeting between the two teams was able to resume its course.

And it was the local club of Ilckley Town who won two goals to zero against their opponents from Cardboard.

How could such an animal end up on this land?

He actually escaped from the neighboring farm.

In Britain, the number of alpacas is estimated at 60,000.

They are raised for their wool which is then used to make sweaters.
