THIS is the bizarre moment a Portuguese club ran out of paint while drawing their goal lines… so they used MILK instead.
The hilarious incident occurred ahead of Oliveirense’s second-division home clash against rivals Felgueiras on Sunday.
It was a crunch clash for the hosts, who are bottom of the table and in dire need of a win.
But before a ball had even been kicked, Oliveirense ran into trouble on the pitch.
With the field in Portugal soaked from heavy rainfall, groundsmen needed to redraw the white lines marking the goalkeeper’s net and boundaries.
It was busy work with the minutes to kick-off ticking down.
Yet the groundsmen managed to hit a major issue when their paint roller ran out of the good stuff.
In desperate need of another white liquid, they were left scratching their heads until they had a brainwave.
One staff member went off the field and soon returned with cartons of MILK.
He was seen doling them out to others, who squeezed the contents into the paint roller in desperation.

The substitution appeared to work though, with the game going ahead as planned.
But Oliveirense’s savviness did not pay off.

As for Felgueiras, the win saw them move to 12th and go 10 points clear of Oliveirense.
