VIDEO: Palermo open scoring following howler from Napoli 'keeper Rafael Cabral

Napoli's Rafael Cabral isn't exactly known for being one of the top 'keepers in Serie A, and his reputation surely won't be boosted after his first-half performance against Palermo on Saturday.

As Achraf Lazaar unleashed a prayer from near the centre circle in the 14th minute, Rafael failed to properly position himself behind the ball and allowed the shot to skip past him and into the back of the net in comical fashion.

Lazaar's shot, which was specifically taken from a distance of 39 metres and 53 centimetres away, marked the farthest goal of the Serie A season.
