Wolfsburg's Junior Malanda produced one of the biggest open net misses you are ever likely to see on a soccer pitch.
Facing defending champions Bayern Munich in the Bundesliga opener Friday night, the 19-year-old defensive midfielder found space in front of the goalkeeper to shoot but Manuel Neuer managed to deflect the shot onto the crossbar.
After the rebound, Malanda was alone on the goal line with an empty net, yet astonishingly managed to miss the target completely.
Shooting as the ball crashed back down off the bar, the Belgian — with a second chance to score and tie the match — seemed to shin the ball before watching in horror as it sailed out of play for a goal kick.
Bayern held on to the 2-1 victory win.
