Soccer goaltender allows goal while drinking from water bottle (Video)


Sui Weijei fail
In Chinese Super League soccer action Sunday, Chongqing Lifan goalkeeper Weijie Sui gave up the tying goal against Liaoning in the 85th minute...while he had stepped aside to take a drink from his water bottle.

Sui left the net open and had his back turned, apparently oblivious to the fact that live action was about to resume on the pitch. Liaoning executed a quick freekick to catch Chongquing Lifan off guard, and forward Ding Haifeng scored the equalizer, all before Sui could even take a sip.

The match ended in a 1-1 tie. After it was over, Sui took full responsibility:
"I made a terrible mistake in Sunday’s game and let go a full three points. I won’t repeat the same mistake and will never lose concentration."
Sui has been fined 50,000 yuan (about $8,060) after giving up the goal, and he also faces possible suspension from the club.  Now that was an expensive water break.
