Amir Sayoud demonstrates worst penalty ever taken: Video fail
Here at Metro Sport we've seen some shocking penalty misses, so take it for granted that if we peg one as the worst ever - which Amir Sayoud's spot-kick for Al Ahly definitely is - then it's got to be good (bad).

Penalty jitters: Amir Sayoud from Al Ahly takes an embarrassing tumble (Picture: YouTube)
..With his side winning comfortably by four goals against Kima Aswan, Sayoud stepped up to take a penalty with confidence and poise - which is basically where it all went wrong.
Running in to put the cherry on top of the cake of victory, our anti-hero attempts to feint his initial shot, but trips and slips over his boot - the ball rolling into the stunned keeper's hands at a snail's pace.
Funny so far? Check.
But that's when the real comedy starts. As he tries to pull himself up from the ground, looking suitably shame-faced, the referee gets in on the action and issues Sayoud a yellow card.
We're not even sure what the offence was - crimes against penalty kicks perhaps?
Anyway, even the commentator was amused by the gaffe and in his wind up to what he thought was a certain goal, he couldn't help but chuckle.
