South Korea's national soccer striker Cho Kyu-sung (28) shared a record-breaking history of humiliation. Cho Kyu-sung's team, Meat Willan (Denmark), failed to advance to the quarterfinals of the UEFA Europa League due to a skit in which he failed to score a single goal in the penalty shootout.

British media 'The Sun' said on the 20th (Korea Standard Time), "Mit Willan dedicated his ticket to Nottingham Forest to the quarterfinals of the Europa League after a shocking penalty shootout," adding, "The disastrous result of all three kickers losing points is drawing ridicule from fans on social network services (SNS). The missing scene of kickers has been ridiculed by local fans as the worst penalty shootout in history," the report said.

On the same day, Mitwillan lost 1-2 to Nottingham in the second leg of the Europa League round of 16 at MCH Arena in Henning, Denmark. Mitwillan, who won 1-0 on the road in the first leg, went into extra time with a combined score of 2-2 in the first and second games, but he was unable to decide the outcome and went into a penalty shootout.

Unlike bloodshed, the penalty shootout ended in vain. While Nottingham's Morgan Gibbs-White, Ibrahim Sangare and Neco Williams calmly shook the net, Mitwillan could not shake a single one.

The beginning of the tragedy was Cho Kyu-sung, the first kicker. Cho Kyu-sung's right foot shot hit the left post and popped out. Even Aral Simsir, who came forward, bowed his head, hitting the same left post as Cho Kyu-sung. The last kicker, Edward Chilupia, slid in the moment of kick and sent the ball flying futilely over the net.

Immediately after the game, there was a lot of criticism on social media about Meat Willan's penalty shootout. According to The Sun, fans reacted cynically, saying, "Mit Willan's penalty shootout is the worst ever," "It's a perfect disaster," "The third penalty was simply terrible," and "It's the three worst penalties I've ever seen."

Cho Kyu-sung and Lee Han-beom, who were included in Hong Myung-bo Team's March A match list, started with the replacement list. Nottingham, who lost the first game, took the lead with Nicolas Dominguez's header first goal in the 40th minute of the first half. Mitwillan reinforced the defense by putting in Lee Han-beom at the start of the second half, but allowed Ryan Yates to score an additional mid-range shot in the seventh minute of the second half, putting him in crisis.

Mitwillan threw a game in the 11th minute of the second half by putting in Cho Kyu-sung. Even Cho Kyu-sung's card seemed to hit the mark. In the 24th minute of the second half, Martin Ehrlich pushed in Cho Kyu-sung's header after hitting the defender, balancing the total score.

However, Cho Kyu-sung, who played a consistent role throughout the game, missed the most important penalty shootout and suffered from elimination from the round of 16. Cho Kyu-sung even scored the header winning goal in the 35th minute of the first round of the Europa League's last round of 16, becoming the top contributor to Mitwillan's victory.
