Video: Croatian keeper makes mother of all howlers to gift opposition goal

Unforgivable error

Ben Kiely

It’s easy to see why NK Zadar are bottom of the Croatian league from this clip.

NK Zagreb scored a comfortable 3-0 win over NK Zadar in the Croatian top flight at the weekend.

Midfield maestro Gabrijel Boban bagged all three goals for the good but even he’ll admit that one of them could have easily been prevented.

The keeper darted off his line to beat Boban to an incoming long ball but inexplicably decided to sabotage his effort by refusing to touch it.

It seemed like the goalie as in tow minds about whether to pick the ball up or hoof it clear, and thought that the best course of action was to do neither and let the ball go whizzing past him.

Boban was more than content to pick up the loose ball and apply the finish.
