Torquay goalkeeper scores epic last minute equaliser in playoff final 'Unbelievable Jeff!
Torquay goalkeeper Lucas Covolan sparked wild celebrations among The Gulls fans after popping up with a dramatic equaliser in the National League playoff final against Hartlepool. The prize on offer for either team heading into the final is not only a return to the Football League, but a cool £1million in prize money.
Hartlepool had delivered the first blow midway through the first half when Luke Armstrong scored to give them the lead.
And Dave Challinor’s side may well have been dreaming about promotion to the Football League as they entered stoppage time still holding onto their slender advantage.
But Torquay equalised in the most surreal circumstances in the final few seconds of the match.
Hartlepool failed to clear the ball from a corner, which Covolan had gone up for.
