Former Anderlecht striker Luis Vázquez has made an incredible miss during a match for Birmingham City in England. From about one metre in front of an empty goal, the 25-year-old Argentine striker shot the ball high over the crossbar. The images of the blunder spread quickly on social media and went viral, with many users highlighting the incomprehensible nature of the miss. Vázquez previously played for Anderlecht before making the move to the English Championship club Birmingham City in the summer of 2026. Since his departure from Lotto Park, the striker has struggled to find the same form he showed during his time in Brussels, where he was known for his agility and nose for goal. Anderlecht themselves are currently seventh in the Jupiler Pro League with ten points from six games, following a recent victory over KV Mechelen thanks to a goal from Tawfik Bentayeb in the 43rd minute. The team is five points behind league leaders Gent and has a goal difference of -1 with four goals scored and five conceded. Anderlecht's next challenge is the home match against Zulte Waregem on 19 September 2026, a side that currently sits fifth in the table. The Brussels outfit's recent form reads WDWLW from the last five matches, with three wins, one draw and one loss. For Vázquez, the miss remains a painful moment in his early days at Birmingham City, where he is still searching for his first league goal since the transfer. The striker himself has not yet given a public reaction to the incident, but the footage continues to circulate across various platforms as one of the most notable errors of the young season. The incident highlights how fine the line sometimes is between opportunity and disappointment in modern football, where even the most straightforward chances can sometimes go begging.
