Rio Olympics 2016: Australian football player has a howler trying to drink a bottle of water

IT seems the Brazilian heat got the better of Australian footballer Lisa De Vanna when she forgot how to use a water bottle.

The team captain was embarrassingly spotted by TV cameras lifting up the wrong end of the bottle to take a sip during their match against Brazil.

Luckily her teammate Elise Kellond-Knight was on hand to point her in the right direction before shaking her head in despair in the hilarious clip.

The footage has gone viral with people finding any excuse to make light-hearted comments on the gaff.

It is not the only embarrassing gaff to happen at the Olympics in Rio. The diving pool turned a mysterious shade of green whilst there are thousands of empty seats in the stands.

Viewers also slammed Canadian commentator Bryan MacDonald described a 14-year-old swimmer's performance saying she "died like a pig."

The game against the host nation finished 0-0 before Australia went crashing out on penalties in the quarter final.
