‘Unbelievable’: A-League star goes viral for all-time miss

There’s no denying the A-League produced some magnificent highlights this weekend, but this moment from Josh Nisbet was not one of them.

Clearly running on tired legs, the star winger is going viral after missing an unmissable goal during the Mariners’ win over Melbourne Victory on Sunday.

The Central Coast midfielder had the easiest of chances to put an exclamation point on his team’s 1-0 win at AAMI Park when he found himself with nobody between himself and the goal.

Three red cards were flashed during the spiteful clash, which came right down to the 100th minute of action when the Victory had a final set piece from 30m out to steal a point.

Having called keeper Paul Izzo up to contest the final play, Victory had nobody at home when the Mariners cleared the free-kick out of the area.

The downfield ball landed perfectly for Nisbet to take possession 30m from goal with nobody in front of him.

He was able to dribble uncontested to the six yard box, but got too greedy when trying to tap the ball into the net and gave just enough time for Victory’s Jake Brimmer to block the shot.

“The Mariners are away here. Paul Izzo is out of his goal,” Channel 10’s Simon Hill said.

“Josh Nisbet just has to keep his head here.”

Cue the narrator: “Josh Nisbet did not keep his head”.

Nisbet’s right foot shot was blocked and his second attempt from the rebound went into the top bar.

The Mariners had a third effort that went wide of the goals.

Nisbet was left with his hands on his head at the end of the play.

“And still they can’t score,” Hill said.

“I do not believe it. Absolutely incredible.”

Full time was called moments later and Nisbet’s flop was largely forgotten in the aftermath of the Mariners’ first ever win over Victory at
