A couple weeks ago, goalkeeper Khalid Askri of Moroccan
club FAR Rabat had an unwanted YouTube hit when he was a bit too
quick to celebrate a penalty kick he
thought he saved that ended up spinning into the goal when
his back was turned.
To Askri's embarrassment, that video appeared pretty much
everywhere (I'm pretty sure it was even screened at a few
community-center bake sales and retirement-home functions). But,
two weeks is an eternity in Internet time and people were surely
starting to forget his exercise in poor judgment. Which makes it
all the more unfortunate that he had to go and do this.
In a match against KAC Kenitra on Saturday, Askri tried to
dribble away from KAC's charging striker Hicham El Aroui. This
didn't work out so hot for Askri as El Aroui quickly slid in and
scored to put his side up 1-0.
So how did Askri respond? He ran. He wiggled away from his
teammates, pulled off his shirt and gloves, and ran away,
effectively substituting himself out of the match right then and
there.
What happened after this clip ends remains unclear, but Askri
could have pulled a Forrest Gump and just kept running.
