This is from a Spanish Segunda match Saturday between Real Betis and UD Salamanca.
It’s a pretty astounding miss—every bit as bad as what has become the standard of misses—what with the open net and the ball rolling at minimal speed and all.
Fortunately for Dani, Betis still hung on for a 1-0 victory. That way we can laugh at the misfortune of others while knowing that it didn’t alter much save for goal difference.

As one of the like two dozen Betis fanatics outside of Spain…this miss symbolizes so so much! Manque Pierda!
The keeper’s reaction is pretty great. He doesn’t even bother to try to track back once he’s beaten. He just kind of stops moving. But at the same time, he doesn’t even react when Dani misses. It’s peculiar to say the least.
I like how the referee totally blocks out the Salamanca defender who is tracking back to the goal. And they say the Serie A refs are all on the take.
