A pair of pitch invaders aren't facing sanctions in Mexico. In fact, one of them was rewarded with a new home.

In a heartwarming scene, a dog interrupted Club Pachuca's 1-0 victory over Chiapas in Liga MX on Saturday, running all over the pitch in the 67th minute before being apprehended by staff. Things then took a turn for the bizarre, as a white cat invaded the field in the 85th minute before darting behind one of the advertisement boards at Estadio Hidalgo.

After the final whistle, Pachuca published a photo of the dog relaxing in Los Tuzos' dressing room.

Echame el Perro, a Latin American community for dog lovers, inquired about the canine Monday, to which Pachuca responded: "Before becoming famous, a woman offered to take care of it, and to those who wanted to adopt, do it with another that needs it."

As for the cat, Pachuca was oblivious to its whereabouts, saying: "We think it remained living in the stadium, even though we haven't seen it again. We'll let you know if we see it."
