It was a volley perfectly positioned about a foot above the ground. It wasn't like he was hitting it from his hip. The ball will already have some power from being a volley, he just needed to either punch it into the ground (low and to the right) or direct it at the net in any way and it probably goes in. Worst case, the goalie makes a world class save and we get a corner.
Wondo is in there for one reason - finish a play in the box. That ball is what he trains for - the miss was inexcusable. It's like being a lefty specialist who faces David Ortiz in the world series and sends up a spinning meatball instead of a curve. Can it happen? Sure, but it's a massive disappointment given that player is on the team for that (and only that) situation.
