THIS is the crazy moment an ambulance invaded a football pitch – despite the match still being played.

And it led to a series of incredible reactions from baffled supporters.

The totally ridiculous scenes happened during a Campeonato Baiano match on Saturday night in Brazil.

David Duarte had just scored an 88th-minute winner in the first leg of the semi-final clash away at Jequie.

But with the match deep into injury time and just a few seconds left, an ambulance suddenly drove on to the pitch.

The ball was in midfield as the hosts searched for a dramatic equaliser when the white van drove on.

The driver then clearly realised their error as they suddenly completed a rapid U-turn turn and headed back for the sidelines.

However, the players and referees seemingly turned a blind eye to there literally being a moving vehicle on the pitch and carried on.

Video footage then cut to a wider angle from the 4,000-capacity Waldomiro Borges Stadium.

That showed a player apparently down injured and receiving treatment just off the pitch in front of the dugouts.

The ambulance headed back towards the off-field commotion before being directed further down the touchline by a man.

And fans on Reddit were utterly bamboozled by the farcical events.

One said: “Can’t make this kind of stuff up.”

Another wrote: “Wait so they just decided to do that for fun there wasn’t any actual emergency?”

A third added: “How are the players unphased? There’s an ambulance driving around on a pitch and the players in the background still playing.”

A fourth user quipped back: “Play to the whistle. Ref’s fault.”

A fifth joked: “Streakers are getting out of hand now.”

A sixth asked: “Who’s gonna be the first player to nutmeg an ambulance?”

And a final person cleverly joked: “Hospital pass.”

The Brazilian blunder comes just months after the pantomime in Paraguay.

Paramedics drove the ambulance on to the pitch to treat an injured player.

But the driver managed to accidentally lock the keys inside the vehicle – meaning the parked up motor was stuck.
