Sui left the net open and had his back turned, apparently oblivious to the fact that live action was about to resume on the pitch. Liaoning executed a quick freekick to catch Chongquing Lifan off guard, and forward Ding Haifeng scored the equalizer, all before Sui could even take a sip.
The match ended in a 1-1 tie. After it was over, Sui took full responsibility:
"I made a terrible mistake in Sunday’s game and let go a full three points. I won’t repeat the same mistake and will never lose concentration."Sui has been fined 50,000 yuan (about $8,060) after giving up the goal, and he also faces possible suspension from the club. Now that was an expensive water break.
