We have a new contender for the worst miss in football history…
And it comes from Down Under in the A-League, as Sydney FC striker Patrick Wood made a mess of a sure goal from two yards out.

The 21-year-old was left with his head on his hands during his side’s game against Central Coast Mariners this morning.
Wood pressed from the front, chasing down opposing goalkeeper Danny Vukovic and capitalising on a miskick to surely score.
As the ball fell kindly to his feet, he took one touch to compose himself and finish…
However, somehow, his side-footed effort from almost on the goalline was dragged wide.
He was left in disbelief and so were the Sydney coaching staff as they held their heads in their hands.
Luckily for the striker, his side were already 3-0 up inside half an hour but he won't be forgetting that for a long, long time.
Describing the miss, commentators said: "You will never see that again. That is the most astonishing miss.
"Poor old Pat Wood, he must be wishing the ground would just swallow him up. It should be 4-0."

Fans have been reacting to the miss as it circulates with one supporter posting on X writing: "Easily the worst miss I have ever seen on a football field."
Another wrote: "How little does he believe in his left foot?"
While another said: "Lock him up for crimes against football. Unreal."
