RADAMEL FALCAO scored a second half equaliser as Colombia snatched a 1-1 draw to halt Brazil’s remarkable run of nine consecutive World Cup qualifying victories on Tuesday.
But the plethora of South American football superstars were almost upstaged as a DOG ran on to the pitch while the Samba Boys were in full attack.
Falcao headed home on 56 minutes to cancel out Willian’s superb opener for Brazil in a result which boosts Colombia’s hopes of qualification for next year’s finals in Russia.
Brazil have already qualified for the World Cup and are guaranteed first place in South America’s standings.
The draw saw second-placed Colombia move to 26 points from 16 games.
Colombia had started brightly, with James Rodriguez testing Brazilian goalkeeper Alisson with a low shot after a deftly worked one-two on 23 minutes.
Brazil had another scare in the 33rd minute when Thiago Silva saw a headed clearance loop towards his own goal forcing Alisson to tip over the bar.
Alisson meanwhile was alert shortly before half-time, comfortably dealing with a Rodriguez free-kick after Paulinho’s foul on Juan Cuadrado.
On the stroke of half-time however Brazil conjured a goal out of nothing.
