This open-goal miss is the kind of thing strikers have nightmares about

A Kaiserslautern player somehow failed to hit the target from two yards out.

OLDER READERS AMONG you may remember Ronny Rosenthal — the former Liverpool and Tottenham striker who is mainly remembered for this astounding miss.

It is considered by some football purists as the worst miss ever, yet Rosenthal may now have a rival to his status as the king of bad misses — step forward Philipp Hofmann of Kaiserslautern.

The player somehow managed to miss an open goal from roughly two yards out in the club’s recent match with Union Berlin, which luckily for him, they won 1-0 anyway.
