Abdul Fattaw's superb extra-time goal saw Championship leaders Leicester City beat Premier League side Bournemouth to reach the FA Cup quarter-finals.
In normal times, both teams hit the posts, resulting in a scoreless game, and golden chances were missed.
As the half-time whistle approached in extra time, Fatau collected the ball on the edge of the area and fired a shot into the top right corner of the goal with the fingertips of Cherries keeper Mark Travers.
The goal was enough for Enzo Maresca's team to advance to the last eight for the first time since winning the 2021 tournament.
The defeat extended Bournemouth's winless run in all competitions to six games, but Andoni Iraola's side are now eight points clear of the drop zone and can now focus on securing their place in the Premier League. become.
The quarter-final draw will take place on Wednesday at 7pm GMT and will be streamed live on the BBC Sport website and app.
Bournemouth miss chance as Leicester's dream continues
Bournemouth faced Manchester City on Saturday but lacked the finishing touch to take more than a point against the Premier League champions.
This was a very similar situation.
Both teams attacked at a serious pace in the early stages, but the hosts took the better lead with Luis Sinisterra scoring from the right.
His cutback saw January signing Enes Unal have his shot blocked on the line, and a pass from the Colombian winger was tipped over the bar by Alex Scott.
Leicester grew in the half and came closest when Mark Albrighton's low drive hit the post before Wanya Marcal's curling shot was tipped over.
Bournemouth defender Marcos Senesi hit the same post in an exchange early in the second period and his left-footed cross sailed over everyone before connecting with the woodwork.
The second half was even more shaky, but Leicester's Yunus Akguan had a great chance to equalize with a goal with three minutes remaining, but it just went over the bar.
The winner came from a single glimmer of brilliance in this game, continuing what has so far been a memorable season for Leicester, who sit six points adrift at the top of the Championship.
With three months left, this game will be one to remember for Maresca and his team.
