French footballer Antoine Mille hits contender for worst Panenka of all-time...

French footballer Antoine Mille's penalty in his club's Chateauroux's shootout win over Les Herbiers is a contender for the worst Panenka of all time.

The French Cup game went to spot-kicks following a 2-2 draw between the two clubs, who both play in the French third tier.

Chateauroux were victorious in the shootout, winning 4-3, but not without Mille's awful attempt at a Panenka penalty.

The striker, who had already opened the scoring for his side during the 90 minutes, confidently stepped-up to take the kick, but from there it went horribly wrong.

His cheeky Panenka failed miserably as the ball just trickled off the forward's feet and rolled into goalkeeper Teo Hamelin's arms.

The Les Herbiers keeper seem to even take offence at Mille's effort and threw the ball back at his opponent in frustration at the audacity of Chateauroux's number ten.

Luckily for Mille, Les Herbiers missed two of their five penalties and his embarrassing effort went unpunished.

Mille opened the scoring for the visitors in first half injury time before Les Herbiers took control of the game with two second half goals from Jeremy Billy.

Vincent Pires' 96th minute goal took the they game to penalties, as Chateauroux made it through to the next round.

The Panenka penalty was made famous by Czech midfielder Antonin Panenka, who first used the technique for Czechoslovakia during their shootout win over West Germany in the final of the 1976 European Championships.

Since then it has been performed in various degrees of success by some of the top names in football. Most memorably when Andrea Pirlo hit a Panenka penalty to help knock England out of Euro 2012.

While Gary Lineker is infamous for trying the technique with a penalty for England against Brazil in 1992,
