The incident happened during the 50th minute of the group stage clash, leaving punters shocked.

Zimbabwe’s Knowledge Musona was played through straight on goal and had an empty net to fire in to.

But he scuffed his shot and instead smashed the ball against the cross bar in outrageous scenes.

Uganda’s Patrick Kaddu also spurned a similar chance late on in the game.

But it was Musona’s error which got people talking on Twitter.

One person said: “Even I would have bagged that!”

Another wrote: “This juju man…”

One noted: “This one has no knowledge.”

Another added: “He didn’t KNOW what went wrong, ironically.”

There have been some spectacular misses over the years, with Fernando Torres’ error in a 3-1 defeat to Manchester United in 2011 one which Chelsea fans struggle to erase from their minds.

But one of the most famous misses belongs to former Arsenal star Nwankwo Kanu, who fired over the target just a yard out from an empty goal while playing for West Brom in a 2-1 defeat by Middlesbrough in 2004.

 Fans were left incredulous with the empty goal wide open
