THIS is the hilarious moment a goalkeeper concedes a calamitous own-goal in the MLS.
San Jose Earthquakes star Daniel Vega will find it hard to sleep this week after his horrific error against FC Dallas.
Earthquakes defender Florian Jungwirth sent a pass back to his goalkeeper in the 26th minute, which should have been easy to control.
Instead, Vega let the ball slip under his foot as he tried to stop it, resulting in Dallas going 1-0 up.
Things then got worse for San Jose as they went 2-0 down before half-time.
However, Vega was able to breathe a massive sigh of relief as his team scored twice in the first ten minutes of the second half, holding out for a 2-2 draw.
But football fans were quick to mock Vega on social media in the wake of the mistake.
