Double whammy! Lebanese keeper commits howler in possibly match-fixed game

Published Feb. 24, 2016 8:09 p.m. ET

With one glance at the Lebanese Premier League table, you'd be hard-pressed to have any qualms with Al Ahed's standing.

Sitting in second place and six points behind leaders Safa Beirut SC, they have shipped a league-low seven goals. On the other hand, their status in the AFC Cup looks to have already taken a substantial tumble.

Judging by this horrendous goalkeeping error in their group-stage opening 2-0 defeat against Tajikistan's Altyn Astyn, it doesn't take a genius to understand why.

Holy howler!

That's Hassan Bittar, turning a seemingly routine backpass into one of the more memorable blunders you'll ever see. And, to make matters worse, the game was flagged as a "suspicious match" in FIFA's anti-corruption system.

Talk about a double whammy!
