Heading into the Amman derby in Jordan without a win in six games, the home side Al-Faisaly were hoping to turn their form around with a victory over their closest rivals Al-Wehdat.
In what is always a hotly contested game - with rival fans known to chant political and civil war slogans at each other from the stands - Al-Faisaly supporters would not have been delighted to see their team go 1-0 down. What happened next might not have helped their mood.
As Al-Wehdat pressed once again, seeking a second goal, they fired a tame shot at the Al-Faisaly goal. The Jordanian national goalkeeper Mohammad Shatnawi fumbled the save and as the ball looped up, and despite being under no pressure from any opposition players, he decided to attempt an overhead clearance. Instead, he simply chipped the ball delicately into his own net when it might well have been easier just to catch it.
The match finished 3-0, with Al-Faisaly failing to reverse their current bad run which has included five draws and two defeats.
