Large men from overseas pull off unlikely victory

As an Englishman, my interest of the version of football where one predominantly uses one’s hands doesn’t usually extend beyond marvelling at all the pretty bright colours and loud noises. However, this clip is quite special (or at least the excitable commentator seems to think so).

You see, there are just two seconds left on the clock, but the game won’t finish until the play is over. In order to provide adequate breaks for advertising and fried food consumption, plays normally last about five seconds, but this one goes on and on until an against-all-odds victory is pulled off…

but it’s a little too late for that now
