Morgan Tucker explains the pitch invasion incident
The proud mother told the media that she looked away for a second, thus granting a perfect opportunity for the toddler. She is quoted by the Western Journal:
“I literally looked away for one second and saw he was under the fence and I was like, ‘Oh my gosh!' I had to jump over the gate and then sprinted after him. When I slid and tackled him, I did not feel any pain but the next day I was sore for sure. I was so scared he was going to get hit in the head with a soccer ball.”
On the other side of the coin, MLS Soccer reports that rumours suggest that Cincinnati’s academy is already looking to offer the young man a contract as a potential homegrown.
