5 funniest Panenka fails

#3 Jason Cummings

Jason Cummings had the very opposite problem to Pato when he stepped up to take a first-half penalty for Hibernian in their Scottish Cup semi-final against Dundee United in 2016.

The young striker was in good form coming into the match and his confidence perhaps got the better of him. Instead of going low into one of the corners, he instead tried to pull off a Panenka. He got elevation... lots of elevation. The goalkeeper fell for it but the ball sailed harmlessly over the crossbar, and Cummings was left to curse to himself as he turned away in shame.

“He’s trying to be too clever,” was the verdict of the half-time analysis on BBC. And as my old man used to say, no one likes a clever clog.
