COLOMBIA’S RECENT WORLD Cup qualifier with Venezuela in Barranquilla received an unscheduled interruption when an owl (yes, an owl) chose the home team’s crossbar as the perfect venue for a spot of al fresco dining.
This isn’t the first owl-related mischief to feature in a Colombian football match, of course: Panamanian player Luis Moreno became the subject of a public hate campaign after he kicked an owl during a league match in Barranquilla earlier this year.
