A pooch pooped on the pitch during Auckland City’s 2-0 win at Eastern Suburbs in New Zealand’s top flight just before the division’s postponement.

Football is now on hold amid the coronavirus outbreak, leaving City on tenterhooks as league leaders with only two matches left to play.

They put themselves in that position by beating reigning champions Suburbs at Madills Farm, with goals apiece from Brian Kaltak and Myer Bevan.

And there was further drama midway through the second half when a dog entered the field of play to defecate on the turf.
