Buzzer beater

In timed sports, a buzzer beater is a successful shot that upon completion leaves zero seconds on the game clock.

Although buzzer beaters are fairly common, several instances have been recognized as special occasions: The term is sometimes applied to analogous achievements in other sports.

[42] In gridiron football, a touchdown after time expires or a field goal (or, much more rarely, a successful fair catch kick in American football or an open-field single point in Canadian) kicked as time expires can be described as a "buzzer beater," though no actual buzzers are used in that sport.

The rules in rugby league also allow for play after time has elapsed; however, a tackle will also end the game, meaning that significant extensions are less likely.

[46] However, the National Collegiate Athletic Association rules for men's lacrosse still require that any shot enter the goal before the whistle to score.
