An avian resident of the Helsinki Olympic stadium interrupted the Finland-Belgium Euro 2008 qualifier football match on Wednesday.
The eagle owl casually glided before the grandstand and landed on the edge of Belgium's half of the pitch. Mike Riley, the English referee, suspended play 19 minutes into the match.
The large bird then took off again and flew up and down the pitch, at one stage sitting on top of Finland's goal. Play eventually resumed after a seven-minute interruption.
Finland went on to win two-nil.
