If, like us, you find there’s something strangely watchable about a footballer missing a ridiculously easy chance to score a goal, this is definitely your cup of tea.
Holding on to a slender 2-1 lead against Feyenoord, PEC Zwolle look to have the perfect opportunity to seal a Valentine’s Day victory.
After a teammate’s chip ricochets kindly off the crossbar, it seems that defender Kingsley Ehizibue is destined to add a third. As the ball bounces down on the goal line, all it requires it a touch… maybe not even that. Merely exhaling breath would be enough to carry the ball over the line.
Somehow, poor Kingsley makes a fine old mess of things and manages to mistime his attempted header.
We don’t doubt that someone out there (probably a fellow defender) will try and argue that the ball comes at him too quickly, but we’re having none of it.
Thankfully for Kingsley, the miss wasn’t a costly one. A few minutes later, he did manage to converr another (presumably much more difficult) chance to make it 3-1.
