Video: German striker misses open goal from three yards out in Bundesliga 2

How can a player who is paid to play football professionally miss a simple tap in from three yards out?

That’s exactly the question you should ask Kaiserslautern's Philipp Hofmann when they played Union Berlin

When his teammate won the ball on the left flank and with the opposition goalkeeper stationed close to the near post, Hofmann found himself in the clear when he received a through ball right in front of the goal.

But all he could do was put the ball over the crossbar as the fans behind the goal couldn’t believe what they just witnessed.

Luckily for Hofmann, Kaiserslautern won 1-0.
