Fluff

49 min CHANCE! Lewandowski has just fluffed his lines badly from eight yards. The striker was completely unmarked after a precise cutback from Gotze, but could only scuff his effort well wide of the far post. That was probably Dortmund's best opening of the match as Malaga continue to ride their luck.
I don't know 'fluff' in this situation. ?

Fluffed his lines would usually refer to an actor forgetting what he was supposed to say, or saying it wrong. Here it means the player made a careless mistake and missed an easy chance to score.
