St. Pauli goalkeeper Philipp Tschauner saved the day for his club on Monday with an equalizing header in the last few seconds of their 2. Bundesliga game against Paderborn.
With his side 2-1 down, the 6 foot 5inch goalkeeper rampaged up the field for a late corner.
Tschauner found himself free and jumped gracefully to head the ball beyond his opposite number for his first ever goal in professional football.
"It's unique - something you've always dreamed of," said Tschauner, with tears in his eyes.
"I'm just happy that I got the chance to experience it during my football career."
