This, friends, is one of those pieces of footage.
It comes courtesy of Amiens, a team that - as recently as Friday night - would have been described as a French second division club.
In a quite incredible climax to the Ligue 2 season across the Channel, Amiens - who have never played in the French top flight - were one of six teams in the division that were separated by just three points.
Drawing 1-1 as the final seconds of stoppage time in their game with Stade de Reims ticked away, they were set to finish sixth - not even enough for them to make the end of season playoff match.
However, with the five minutes of added-on time up, the ball fell to Emmanuel Bourgaurd, whose well-struck shot found away beyond the Reims goalkeeper.
The goal was enough to catapult them into second place, *and* to clinch automatic promotion to the Ligue 1 for the first time in their 116-year history.
We challenge you to watch this without those tiny hairs on your arms standing up.
