Christian Fuchs says he has not experienced drama like the injury time turnaround that could yet keep his Newport County side a league club.
With 106 minutes on the clock at Rodney Parade, Newport were in the bottom two of the League Two table.
They faced going to Barrow – a place below them next weekend – knowing their fate was out of their hands even if they won.
As a sun-kissed stadium held its breath, Bobby Kamwa – scorer of a brilliant opening goal before Newport trailed and then levelled – scuffed a spot-kick into the hands of Oldham Athletic's back-up goalkeeper making his EFL debut and who had done much to keep the ten-man visitors in the game.
Safety looked beyond them, supporters seeing it as a sign their days were numbered.
Only for Kamwa to then win it, two minutes after 16 added-on were played, and leave Newport in control of their own destiny. They remain a point outside the bottom two, but need only to match the result of either Harrogate Town or Crawley Town to survive.
Even for a player who won the Premier League against all odds with Leicester City, this was a new one for Fuchs.
"I've been in several traumatic games but that's probably all the way on top of the list," said the 40-year-old, appointed in November when Newport were four points from safety at the bottom of the table.
"Even for just how the game finished, missing a 106th minute penalty but keeping believing.
"But we've spoken for a long time about how we keep believing. We need to believe that we can make things happen."
