The incident occurred during a match between Uruguay Montevideo and Paysandú FC in the 13th round of the Segunda División. The ball left the stadium and ended up on the road that passes next to the scene. The unexpected appearance of the ball forced drivers in the area to slow down. One of them, however, was unable to stop in time and ended up colliding with the vehicle in front of him. The peculiar scene was recorded on video and began to circulate on social media, turning a play from the match into an unusual situation that occurred outside the pitch. The match ended with a 1-0 win for Uruguay Montevideo over Paysandú FC. The match corresponded to the 13th round of the regular phase of the Segunda División tournament in Uruguay. The Parque ANCAP, the stadium where Uruguay Montevideo plays its home games, is located on Route 1, in the western part of Montevideo. That particular location explains why a ball that leaves the field can quickly end up in the middle of traffic. The episode on social media generated more debates, from the responsibility of the incident to what will be the conclusion of the insurance company that will have to analyze the accident. In any case, the road incident leaves another pearl of the always surprising Uruguayan football.
