A Brazilian footballer has become a global laughing stock after his unbelievable miss took the internet by storm.

The player, who was taking part in a local league match in Brazil, appeared to have done all the hard work by latching onto a perfect long pass and cleverly playing the ball past the keeper.

The ball was speeding towards the goal already, but the striker wanted to emphasise his skill by running it up to the empty goal and blasting it in.

That's what his plan was, at any rate - but what happened next truly beggars belief.

To make sure the ball really goes into the net, all players should just take the ball nicely and slowly across the goal line.

Not trying to blast the ball in.

Celebrate only when the ball has crossed the line.

its a typical case of 'kiang diou ho mai kay kiang'.

Accuracy and not power is what that matters here.

When you blast hard, there's always the danger that you might hit the ball at the wrong angle and end up shooting high or wide.

All he needed was a little controlled tap.

The vital match between Termeno and Dro in the Italian seventh tier went to penalties.

With the scores level at 4-4 and in sudden death, Termeno's Michael Palma stepped up to take the spot-kick which would keep his side in the contest — only to hit the bar.

Dro keeper Loris Angeli ran off to be congratulated by his team-mates but what happened next was a total freak.

The ball landed on the pitch after flying in the air, span back towards the goal and trickled over the line.

Angeli was left red faced as he walked back towards the goal with Palma overjoyed, just seconds after his despair from missing.

To compound the keeper's misery, his team-mate then missed the next penalty meaning Termeno were promoted.

i thought penalty shootout only the 1st shot counts?

Correct. It was only one shot in this case as well.

It hit the crossbar, then the ball bounced by itself into goal. As long as there was only that one single kick, the goal stands.

It is considered no different from having the ball deflecting into goal after hitting the goalpost.

Dumb sia

the 2nd case. same as the previous brazil goalie right?

Apparently, this match is to be replayed.

"According to Corriere dello Sport, Dro filed an appeal over this goal and won on the basis that, during a shootout, a ball that hits the bar and lands back onto the pitch is to be ruled dead (which a few referees have written to say is an incorrect interpretation of FIFA rules). So the match will be replayed and Angeli will probably be much more attentive if it goes to penalties again."

So what is the real correct FIFA ruling for these sorts of cases?
