Video: Goalkeeper concedes goal while pausing for a drink

Chongqing Lifan fell to a 1-1 draw with Liaoning in the Chinese Super League after Sui Weijie left his goal unattended to grab sip of water.

Chongqing Lifan goalkeeper Sui Weijie has been fined by his club after leaving his goal unattended to take a drink of water, allowing Liaoning midfielder Ding Haifeng to roll the ball into an empty net.

The relegation-threatened Chinese Super League side was leading 1-0 with just seven minutes remaining at the time of the freak equalizer.

Sui stepped away from his goal to quench his thirst as the opposition prepared to take a free kick from the edge of the area.
