The soccer tournament has been rife with own goals, but this one stands apart.

It’s a major tournament moment that Spain’s national soccer team goalkeeper Unai Simón will definitely want to forget.

A momentary lapse of concentration saw the shot-stopper score a shocker of an own goal during Spain’s second-round European Championships game against Croatia on Monday.

“It’s a slip-up that you certainly don’t see every day, an oops moment and then some,” said ESPN commentator Derek Rae.

Oops, indeed.

Simón, 24, looked utterly dejected following the howler ― the ninth own goal of the entire tournament so far.

But he redeemed himself later in the match, pulling off a string of vital saves as Spain fought back to win 5-3 in extra time and earn a quarter-final spot against Switzerland on Friday.
