Overview
- Coco, which ran onto the field Sunday around the 12th minute, forced a brief stoppage in Rosario Central vs Tigre at the Gigante de Arroyito.
- Video showed the puppy slipping past staff for several minutes as fans cheered, and the clips spread fast across social media.
- After workers caught the dog, referee Hernán Mastrángelo restarted play and the match ended 1–1, leaving Central on 28 points and Tigre on 20 in the Apertura table.
- Posts and local coverage identified the dog as a seven-month-old named Coco who escaped from Barrio Industrial and traveled roughly 30 blocks to the stadium.
- A bystander named Camila sheltered him until owner Giuliana picked him up, an ironic twist since the family supports Newell’s Old Boys despite the cameo at Central’s stadium.
