Is this the worst miss in football history? See for yourself…

Honduras international Jerry Bengtson submitted his contender for the ‘worst miss of all time’ award last night.

In a time where the footballing world has drawn to a standstill in the United Kingdom, we are grateful that games being played overseas can still provide some kind of entertainment.

Unlike the Premier League, this clip we’re about to show you has not provided said entertainment via world-class ability – quite the opposite.

Honduras international Jerry Bengtson (we repeat, an actual real-life international footballer) missed with the goal at his mercy in seemingly impossible circumstances.

All Bengtson needed to do was get any kind of good contact on the ball and it would have nestled in the back of the net, whether that be via his head or either foot.

Instead, he got his body positioning all wrong and made lame contact with the ball, somehow preventing it from finding its way into the back of the net and being left with egg on his face.

Watch the clip below, which quite frankly, you have to see to believe…
