Home / Goals My Granny Could Have Scored / Goals My Granny Could Have Scored: Chipped Penalty Fail

 

So…we have for you today one of the worst penalties ever taken in a professional match. Blau-Wiess Linz and Wassen were battling promotion to the Austrian second division, which if you ask me is like two large men fighting over a small bit of cake. Anyway, both sides had 1-0 victories at home versus each other, so it came down to penalties.

With Blau 4-3 behind to Wassen, it fell to Armin Hobel to keep Blau in it…instead he did this….

Now who told him he was Eric Cantona….

I've played soccer since I could walk thanks to my father and love keeping up on all the latest gear and gab. I'm in my twenties, and I'm lucky enough to have found work in search marketing for a leading soccer retailer after completing my M.A. at Georgetown in 2008. My team is Liverpool, and national side is Ireland, but I've also got a passion for GAA and a number of sports. Feel free to give me a shout on Google+
