A TEAM in the lower leagues of Brazil put together the WORST free-kick routine before unleashing a horror attempt at goal.

The attacking team placed two of their own players in front of the ball in order to confuse their opponents.

A mix up then took place with the free-kick taker forgetting to kick the ball.

And after their first failed attempt, the team then set up for a new routine only for the ball to be fired high and wide.

One footy fan reacted to the botched free-kick, saying: "Seriously, I thought that the first set piece variant that didn’t go all that well was planned to bamboozle the opponent.

"Turned that no one of those three players had a single clue of what was going on at that free-kick."

Another said: "I was expecting something worthy of Ted Lasso, but that guy would be a better NFL kicker."

Some teams have managed to pull off audacious free-kick routines.

Japanese high school team  pulled off a 'Ring o' Roses' routine straight from the training ground.

As two Takagawa players stood over the dead ball, five team-mates took up a position on the far side of the box.

But as their Seiryo opponents lined up for a man-marking job, the Takagawa quintet suddenly broke ranks to join hands and spin continuously in a circle.

And it paid off as one of the five attackers planted the ball into the back of the net.
