Worst penalty you'll see today: Ilombe Mboyo's spot-kick was so bad he publicly apologised for it

Posted by Chris Wright

What we have here is, undoubtedly, the worst penalty you will see today. It came 15 minutes into Gent's 0-2 defeat against Waasland-Beveren in the Belgian top flight this weekend, with Gent captain and striker Ilombe Mboyo stepping up and wafting his spot-kick wide of the goal with all the force of a butterfly fart...



Mboyo's penalty was so bad that the Gent captain was forced to come back out onto the pitch after the game and apologise to the fans in person...



A public apology? That's when you really know you've made a hash of things!

After sheepishly sidling back out into the stadium, Mboyo told the Gent fans: "I am the club captain. I want respect. I play all the time at 100%. I missed a penalty, but it happens. I did not mean to. I wanted to score."

Glad you cleared that one up Ilombe as, looking at the footage, it's not immediately apparent!
