This is a story from the FSF archive – the FSF and SD merged to become the FSA in 2019.
The A-League’s Melbourne derby provides us with a classic of the open-goal-miss genre this week. James Troisi somehow failed to pass the ball into an empty net on the break. Sadly, it mattered not as his team won seconds later.

Benevento are rock-bottom of Serie A – failing to win in 15 games so far this season with a -28 goal difference. But at last they’ve earned a point due to this injury time header from goalie Alberto Brignoli against the AC Milan. Great stuff.
Liverpool loanee Divock Origi, currently on loan at Bundesliga side Wolfsburg, stakes his claim for miss of the season this week. Origi somehow manages to miss an open goal from a couple of yards, scooping the ball into the stands. A real gem.
New Year in the Welsh Premier League was marked in some style by Carmarthen Town ‘keeper Lee Idzi – scoring the first goal in the division in 2018 from his own box against Aberystwyth Town. Good effort.
This week’s And Finally… sees Cercle Brugge’s Isaac Koné score a nice little diving header in the Belgian second division. Shame it was into the wrong net. Luckily for him Cercle Brugge scored three in the last 10 minutes to take all three-points.
