From hero to zero in seconds, how Moroccan goalie let ball through his net
A classic case of 'from hero to zero' in just a few seconds. FAR Rabat goalie Khalid El Askri saved a penalty, cheered to his fans and never noticed the ball bounced back into the net.
The Moroccan goal keeper stood in dismay as he looked back to see what all the cheers were for, as his fans stopped applauding his spectacular save that meant his team was on its way to win an important semi-final qualification in the Moroccan Cup.
But the ball that bounced back into the net cost El Askri the wrath and ridicule of his team and supporters for having shown too much ego for his save, and showing lack of concentration throughout.
El Askri's team was eliminated for that goal by 7-6.
