Gonzalo Higuain has done it again.
The much-maligned Argentina striker did his best to restore his reputation last season with Napoli, scoring a remarkable 36 goals in the 2015-16 Serie A campaign.
As such, Higuain entered the Copa America Centenario final having somewhat shed himself of his nightmarish misses from both the 2014 FIFA World Cup final and the 2015 Copa America final.
But then he found himself in a one-v-one situation with Chile goalkeeper Claudio Bravo and watched once more as his shot went just wide of goal, forcing the Albiceleste fans in the stands at MetLife Stadium to relive the agony one more time.
Here are his last two misses:
