It turned out to be a dead pigeon, dropped by another bird.

Referee Rubain Ricardo stopped the game in the 67th minute for a staff member to remove the bird from the field.

Fans from the section supporting the visiting team cheerfully supported the staff member as he cleared the field.

The suspension lasted three minutes, after which the game resumed, probably to mixed emotions from fans who had witnessed the dull game of both teams up to that moment.

This unusual incident became a highlight, as the game was ending in a goalless draw, with 20 minutes left until the match's conclusion.

One visitor wrote on X: “The game was stopped in the match between West Brom and Derby due to a dead pigeon on the field… easily the liveliest moment of the game so far.”

There is a theory that a hawk resides in the corner of the East Stand at "Hawthorns" and dropped its prey onto the field.

This strange incident will be remembered by the fans who attended the match.

After the game resumed, more interesting moments began to happen: Derby's forward Andreas Wyman scored in the 84th minute, breaking the deadlock of the draw.

Derby managed to hold on to this narrow lead in significant additional time, achieving their first victory of the season.

Perhaps the "Baggies" will explain their first defeat of the season through the shocking experience of playing under such a strange occurrence.

The football match will be memorable not only for the result but also for this unusual incident, which became an unexpected distraction in the usual events of the match. It vividly demonstrated how unpredictable situations can change the course of a game and impact the emotional atmosphere even in seemingly mundane moments.
