Let him who thinks he has made a save take heed lest... well, take a look
In a tense match between Maghreb Fez and FAR Rabat to decide who reaches the quarterfinals of Morocco's Coupe du Trone, they had to go to a penalty shootout to decide a winner.
The Bible says, "Let him who thinks he stands take heed lest he fall." Application for goalkeepers: make sure you actually have saved the ball before celebrating victory in a penalty shoot out. FAR goalkeeper Khalid Askri thought he came up with a big stop and ... the rest, as we say, is history. His team ended up losing the shootout 7-6.
