A Brazilian fourth division match was thrown into farce when one team's masseur sneaked onto the pitch and stopped the opposition scoring a winner.

Aparecidence were taking on Tupi in a playoff semi-final and with the scores at 2 - 2, Aparacidence's masseur made his way onto the field and saved two goal-bound shots on the line.

Incredibly the officials failed to take any action, although the Tupi players tried to get some retribution against the pitch invader by chasing him off the pitch.

As the away team, Aparecidence progress to the final but Tupi will take the matter to court.
