((HT: Sky Sports))
Take you to the nPower Championships playoffs... Watford and Leicester City...
Anthony Knockaert has a penalty to ensure that his team makes it to the final at Wembley...
But... and this is the biggest of buts...
Troy Deeney's header sends them to the finals and the HQ wonders if Watford manager Gianfranco Zola has, in fact, recovered...
"I can't imagine a worse way to lose," Leicester manager Nigel Pearson said afterwards. "When you get a penalty you just hope he scores it - then what happened after that compounds the misery.
"Anthony is distraught as you would expect. I'm the first to admit it was a generous penalty decision. But to concede off the resulting penalty save is very hard to take.
"Unfortunately that's the nature of the beast."
Sky Sports gets all the credit in the world for the headline: "Knockaert Blow"
And Sky Sports News has this awesome program called "Soccer Saturday" which has a whip-around of all the action from all the games in all of the classifications as soon as they kick off...
Here was the reaction of their on-site guy, Johnny Phillips, as he had to recap the whole thing...
Watford now plays the winner of Brighton and Crystal Palace for the third promotion spot
