A Qatari striker astonished spectators at his country’s 1-0 loss to Uzbekistan at the Asian games, by missing an open goal from less than a yard.

In the last 16 of the Asian Games, Fahad Khalfan rounded the Uzbekistan goalkeeper and proceeded to run towards goal.

When all he needed to do was walk the ball into the net, the striker somehow conspired to hit the post.

The miss, which is already being cited as the worst of all time, would prove incredibly costly as Uzbekistan went on to win the match 1-0.
