Alphonso Davies spectacularly tried a Panenka with the game on the line – and missed – as Uruguay defeated Canada in the Copa America third place game.

The sides were tied 2-2 after 90 minutes, with Luis Suarez leveling the score in second half stoppage time, before Bayern Munich star Davies found his team 4-3 down in the ensuing shootout.

The left-footer got Uruguay goalie Sergio Rochet to dive to his right as he chipped the ball down the middle, but his shot struck the bar and bounced in front of the goal line to end the match. 

Davies put his head in his hands as he reacted to his miss and the end of Canada’s tournament.

Despite the disappointing finish to their Copa America, Jesse Marsch’s squad exceeded expectations as they made a run to the semifinals and escaped a group with Chile and Peru.
