Over 90 minutes, football is capable of providing indescribable highs, scarring lows and plenty of 'meh, this is alright' in between.

However, as one Spanish lower-league game proved, this emotional rollercoaster can sometimes take place over a matter of seconds. Let us fill you in...

With Vinaròs CF trailing Peñíscola 1-0 with seconds to go in a local derby in Spain's sixth-tier, the former's goalkeeper Carlos Aguayo Torres surged upfield in a last-ditch attempt to salvage something.

Following a late free-kick on the edge of the box, the shot stopper stepped up to swing a leg at it. The technique was anything but vintage. The keeper's back remained rigid as an ironing board as he shot. It was the kind of strike you would expect from a non-outfield player in the 95th minute to be honest.

It may have lacked beaty, but none of his teammates, nor his manager, nor the smattering of Vinaròs' officials in attendance minded when they saw his shot nestle into the back of the net.

Few things in football are more euphoric than a goalkeeper snatching a last minute equaliser. It is always greeted with an explosive of unexpected joy and this goal was no different. An 11-man pile-on followed before the keeper trotted back to his goal with a heartwarming grin of his face.

Seconds later, that cheeky smile would turn into the look you give your cupboard when you find out the last Kit Kat has been stolen by one of your housemates.

Not to be bested, Peñíscola responded with an even rarer form of goal - one straight from kick off. This kind of strike is usually reserved for Under-11s matches when the one kid who hit puberty earlier than everyone else unleashes an thunderbastard from the centre circle.

On this occasion, it happened in a game involving grown men. Peñíscola sneakily fired a shot over the goalscoring hero's head when his back was turned. He tried his best to keep it out but his feeble body, weak from adrenaline fuelled ecstasy of 30 seconds before simply could not manage it.

Final score: Vinaròs CF 1-2 Peñíscola

Football, bloody hell.
