The little one sprinted onto the field during the FC Cincinnati vs Orlando City SC match on Saturday, only to be chased by his mother at a full sprint. When she reached the child, she appeared to slip and fall — the entire moment caught on camera and shared on the Major League Soccer Twitter account on Monday.

"A young pitch invader was quickly scooped up by their own personal security detail without incident," Sam Greene, a photojournalist at The Cincinnati Enquirer who took a now-viral photo of the event wrote on Twitter.

The tot's mom carried him off the field and back to their seats, which appeared to be close to the sidelines.

The Cincinnati Enquirer later identified the toddler as 2-year-old Zaydek Carpenter and his mother as Morgan Tucker, of Moscow, Ohio. Greene tweeted later that Zaydek and his mom had "a great time" at the game, despite the incident.

Online, the soccer jokes rolled in as fans watched the video.

"Mom deserves a red card for that reckless tackle from behind," @Dannybo47921132 joked.

2. And she caught the kid as she slipped. I think she should try out for Ohio State.

3. Not the football team, right?...

Maybe classes…Parenting Tackles 101.

4. Of course the football team! I'd like to see the guys try to replicate that maneuver.

ha, right. Maybe Urban Meyer can teach a class on parenting tackles and make her the star pupil.
