MEMPHIS DEPAY was left red-faced after his Panenka penalty went horribly wrong.
The Manchester United flop had the perfect chance to hand his Corinthians side an early lead from the spot, but he fluffed his lines against Mirassol.
Corinthians won the penalty after Igor Coronado’s strike hit Joao Victor’s arm in the 27th minute.
The referee was sent to check the monitor before awarding the spot kick a few minutes later.
But after all the drama, Depay stepped up and missed the penalty after attempting a Panenka chip.

But the former Premier League star was hauled off before the hour mark as Mirassol equalised in the 49th minute.
Mirassol then took the lead within minutes of Depay’s substitution and held on to win 2-1.
Depay joined the Brazilian outfit last September after leaving Atletico Madrid in the summer.
The forward is reportedly paid a staggering £170,000-per-week, which would make him the highest paid player at Corinthians.
Depay struggled to make an impact at Man Utd between 2015 and 2017 after joining from PSV.
He scored seven goals in his 53 appearances, before leaving the Red Devils and rebuilding his career in Lyon.
After four years in France, he made the move to Barcelona and, after two seasons, joined Atletico Madrid in 2023.
