Paraguay Score on Jamaica Keeper's Amazing Blunder

Jamaican keeper Duwayne Kerr made a massive mistake and headed a ball into a Paraguayan forward's knee and could only watch as the ball slowly bounced into the net.

Depending on your rooting interests, this is either a fantastic, delightful goal for Edgar Benitez, or a horribly disastrous one. As a person with no dog in this fight, I find it delightful. In the first half of their Copa America match, Paraguay sent a ball deep into Jamaica's end and, for some reason, Jamaican keeper Duwayne Kerr came all the way out to play it. But he didn't just play it, he tried to head to a teammate, presumably.

In an area of the pitch where one Paraguayan forward was surrounded by four Jamaican players, Kerr managed to find the only threat and put it right on Benitez's knee. The result is quite possibly the saddest, slowest bouncing ball for a goal you'll see. It's actually amazing how perfect it is.
