40.000? krydser Stor Hornugle / Stor Hornugle stopper fodboldkamp

En af gårsdagens fodboldmæssige højdepunkter skete i Finland, hvor en Stor Hornugle sørgede for, at kampen mellem Finland og Belgien blev udsat ca. 7 minutter.

Janne Aalto sendte følgende ud på Eurobirdnet:

The game was stopped for 7 minutes because of the owl was sitting on the field and on the both goals. It also made a couple of "lazy attacks" as you could see on the video.

And the owl is nesting in the stadium. I don't know exactly where but it ha been seen there from winter.

The video was in Finnish, but I can tell you that the audience was shouting "huuhkaja, huuhkaja", which means "Eagle Owl, Eagle Owl" while the owl was sitting on the crossbars of the both goals. And all the comments were very humoristic and everyone seemed to enjoy what happened even the coach of Finland Roy Hodgson but maybe not the players. After this episode the owl disappeared, so there were no more troubles (except for Belgium :-).

Well another highlight was that Finland won 2-0. The 1st goal was made only a couple of minute after the Eagle Owl left the field...
