Embarrassed Moroccan goalie Khalid Askri is now set for infamy worldwide for all the wrong reasons following one of the worst goalkeeper blunders in football history.
A 1-1 draw between MAS Fes and FAR Rabat in a Moroccan Cup game on Thursday night saw the game head to the dreaded penalty shootout to decide a winner.
However, as he saluted the crowd, the ball bounced back into the goal after his initial block and rolled over the line into the empty net.
To make matters even more embarassing, his side eventually lost the shoot-out 7-6.
