AN OVERZEALOUS koala interrupted a Sunshine Coast soccer game on Friday night, scampering across the field in front of a bewildered crowd.

The marsupial was caught on video running across the field while being escorted by a Kawana Force soccer player.

The player nudged the koala a few times but the animal was having none of it.

Members of the crowd can be heard laughing at the scene.

“How cool is that,’’ one person is heard saying.

“He’s going to get a goal,’’ says another as the koala is chased past the goalpost.

The koala was eventually put over the fence after trying to get on the field again.

The furry invader struck at approximately 10.30pm at the Girraween Sports complex at Eenie Creek during a division three men’s grand final between Woombye Snakes and Kawana Force.
