A 19-year-old Nigerian striker who plays for Haugesund in the Norwegian top flight and is considered something of a potential star, has missed an open goal during a match over the weekend and the video clip has gone viral.
The video comes for Haugesund's recent match against Lillestrom. With Haugesund 2-1 up, the ball is played across goal to Ibrahim. The goal is gaping.
The missed open goal
There's no-one near him. Your Grandma - literally, your elderly, frail grandmother, could stumble the ball into the goal. And yet, somehow, Ibrahim puts it wide.
It's a shocker…but it gets worse. If he'd scored, his team would have been 3-1 up and out of sight. Instead, the game eventually ended 2-2.
It’s better not to try and guess the reaction from his teammates after the match…Lol! you already know.
