The toddler was later identified as Zaydek Carpenter and his mother as Morgan Tucker, from Moscow, Ohio. Morgan Tucker took Zaydek to his first soccer game on Saturday night to watch FC Cincinnati vs Orlando City FC.

The incident happened when Tucker and his son were sitting in club seats on the sidelines. According to Tucker, she had turned her head for a second and during that split second, Zaydek slipped under a fence and ran into the field. She was filmed as she sprinted across the field in order to tackle the Zaydek out of the field where play was continuing.

“I literally looked away for a second and saw he was under the fence and I was like, ‘Oh my God. I had to jump over the door and then I sprinted after him, ”she told Good Morning America.
