Khalid Askri - Never take you eye off the Ball!



It has been been dubbed the craziest penalty in the history of football and has made an internet hit out of a very embarrassed Moroccan goalkeeper.

Khalid Askri thought he had saved a crucial spotkick in a Moroccan Cup game playing for FAR Rabat against Moghreb Fes.

He pushed the ball away and turned to soak up the adulation of his fans.
However, as he saluted the crowd, the ball span back and rolled over the line into the empty net.

The goal stood and Fes qualified for the quarter-finals.
"Khalid Askri thought he was a hero, but he's just a zero," said a report on the Chronofoot website.

"It was the craziest penalty in football history."
