Ajax star somehow fluffs ‘worst miss ever seen’ that ‘2 year old would’ve scored’ – but gets away with it
FOOTBALL fans mocked Ajax star Steven Berghuis after he produced one of the “worst misses ever seen”… only for the offside flag to spare his blushes.
The Netherlands international, 31, found himself five yards out with an open goal after receiving a pass across the box.
It looked as though Steven Berghuis could not miss from five yards out
He ended up mis-controlling the ball, before the offside flag went up

But as the forward attempted to control the ball, he let it squirm under his left foot and the chance went begging.
Fortunately for Berghuis, the flag did go up for offside.
However, that did not stop those on social media from mocking his blunder.
One said: “Berghuis with one of the worst misses you’ll ever seen .”
Another added: “Hurts to watch.”
A third replied: “My 2 year old baby would have scored this .”
While a fourth responded: “Why does he wanna have a touch? .”
Ajax led PEC Zwolle 2-1 at the time of Berghuis’ embarrassing gaffe.
But they ended up relinquishing their lead as Lennart Thy netted his second of the game in the 89th minute to salvage a point for the visitors.
The result leaves Ajax fifth in the Eredivise, 23 points adrift of PSV Eindhoven – who are yet to drop a single point this season.
They have also dropped down to the Europa Conference League after finishing third in their Europa League group behind Brighton and Marseille.
