This clip really illustrates the importance of keeping your eye on the ball

The dozens of fans of the Asian Champions League witnessed an incredible goalkeeping fail in the match between Al-Ahli and Al-Ahli (yes, you read that correctly) on Wednesday.

Hosts Al-Ahli FC Dubai conceded within the first minute of the match their man between the posts made a comical error.

When one of his defenders made a bog standard pass back inside the box, the shot-stopper had a major lapse in concentration. Instead of booting the ball clear, he missed it completely which allowed Al Ahli Jeddah striker Asvaldo to run in and nab an extremely soft goal.

You can tell from his venomous looking tackle from behind on the scorer, that he was pretty ticked off after making the ridiculous blunder.
