THIS is the unfortunate moment Ajax keeper Andre Onana was left red faced after failing to deal with a plastic cup.
The incident happened in the 79th minute of the Dutch side's 2-1 Champions League defeat to Real Madrid in Amsterdam.
With the score locked at 1-1, the 22-year-old was given the simple task of booting the ball up the field following a back pass from the defender.
But just as he goes to take an almighty swipe with his left peg, the ball rolls over a plastic cup and over his foot.
The keeper's momentum then puts him to the floor as he watches the ball harmlessly go over the line for a needless corner.
In an incident that resembles the famous beach ball drama in 2009, Real Madrid couldn't capitalise from the following set-piece.
Bizarrely, Onana then opted to leave cup on the field before trudging back to his goal line.
With the video circulating online, viewers were left confused why he just didn't clear the litter.
One said: "Doesn't think to move it afterwards."
Another added: "Just leaves it there so it can happen again."
