South American football biter. If you’re looking for an update on Luis Suarez, you’re reading the wrong article.

Video has emerged from a Brazilian Cup match last weekend that shows a dog take to the pitch to do his best  impression of the Barcelona forward.

While the referee called a halt to the game, Sao Paulo RS player Eduardo Mandai took matters (and the pooch) into his own hands by carrying the four-legged pitch invader to the sidelines.

The saucy pup took this opportunity to bite Mandai but this ended up working quite well for the player who went on to score the winning goal against opponents Farroupilha, who were 2-1 up before the bite.

Mundai took to Instagram to share the pictures, referring to the incident as a ” lucky bite.”
