Kingsley Ehizibue Misses from close range

You know when commentators react to a missed opportunity by excitedly screaming, "It was easier to score from there"? Most of the time, that's a dramatic exaggeration.
In the case of the miss you can see above, it is actually an understatement.
Take a look at the clip and, like us, you will be left baffled. How does PEC Zwolle defender Kingsley Ehizibue manage to NOT score?
The footage comes from Zwolle's Eredivisie match against Feyenoord. In the 88th minute, with his team 2-1 up, Ehizibue finds himself with an open goal. He is - quite literally - ON the goaline. He could breathe on the ball and it would go in.
And yet somehow, he missed.
You'll have to watch the video to truly understand the horror of the howler. ( click link above to watch the video)
However, perhaps the most remarkable element of this story is that Ehizibue somehow managed to score a few minutes later, making it 3-1 in injury time.
If we had been responsible for a miss this catastrophic, we would have immediately walked off the pitch and never returned - so fair play to Ehizibue for soldering on
