WATCH: Incredible header in the final seconds

It's a common tactic in football for teams who are a goal down with seconds to play - send the keeper up to attack.

However, it's not often it works out this well.

The Portland Thorns were down 1-0 against FC Kansas City during stoppage time, but weren't willing to give up.

They sent goalkeeper Michelle Betos into the action, who said after the match that she had to remind herself to not use her hands in the other keeper's box.

The Portland Thorns play in the National Women's Soccer League, the USA's top tier competition for women.

They currently have a lot of players out of action on Women's Football World Cup duty.

Despite securing the draw, they still languish near the bottom of the NWSL ladder, in 7th place out of 9 teams.
