overtime goal
Extra-period game-ender
A goal scored during overtime—the extra period played when a game is tied at the end of regulation.
In sudden-death formats, an overtime goal ends the game immediately, making it especially dramatic: He scored the overtime goal to win the series.
The phrase appears most often in hockey and soccer contexts.
