Brazilian star striker misses open goal

Brazilian star striker misses open goal, Brazilian star Luiz Adriano guilty of horror miss, A perfect pass and an open goal in front of him - surely Shakhtar Donetsk's Luiz Adriano couldn't miss? Funny videos of footballers blazing over the bar from point-blank range are all well and good, but as often as not it's a lower league player, or an out-of-position defender, who is at fault.

Shakhtar Donetsk's Brazilian superstar Luiz Adriano has no such excuses for this astonishing blunder. The 24-year-old was served up a perfect pass that presented him with an open goal from inside the six-yard box in the 33rd minute of the Ukrainian champions' league clash against struggling Illichivets:

The reactions of the striker, his team-mates and the men on the bench says it all: that, my friend, was an absolute shocker.

Shakhtar were leading 1-0 at the time and went on to win the game 2-1, with Adriano's team-mates Willian and Tomas Hubschman making up for his wastefulness.
