Amine Lecomte-Addani, the goalie for the Qatari soccer team Lekhwiya, gave up one of the sillier goals you'll ever see after taking his time to clear the ball.

In a quarterfinal match in the Asian Champions League, Lecomte-Addani received a pass from his teammate with Al-Hilal's Aílton Almeida charging at him.

Rather than quickly clearing the ball, Lecomte-Addani gathered the pass, set it up, backpedalled, got his footing right, and took off to kick it when Almeida blocked it right into the goal (via Deadspin):

Between the time Lecomte-Addani received the pass and began to kick it, about five seconds passed, giving Almeida plenty of time to attack.

Lecomte-Addani was understandably frustrated afterward:

He cleared the ball quickly that time!

Al-Halal went on to win the match 4-1, according to The Guardian.
