Watch: Kangaroo interrupts soccer game, tries out as goalie

A commentator announced during the match, "And the kangaroo is on the field to play again," Also added that the mammal is racing across the field, scattering players left and right, bearing down on goal.
In the video that has gone viral, soccer officials are seen punting the soccer ball towards the marsupial in a hope that it would bound away. But, the mammal had no impact and kept jumping here and there.
