When Ruben Rodrigues placed the ball down on the spot in the 70th minute, the weight of Notts County's promotion hopes fell on to the shoulders of the 26-year-old.
Having already equalised for the Magpies with a quite exquisite finish redolent of the Fandango from his homeland as he danced into the area before sliding the ball beyond Joe McDonnell - many predicted the net to bulge with his impeccable record from the spot this season.
But when his stuttering run-up was unable to fool the Spitfires number one, his header from the rebound was somehow repelled to keep the scores level, with many thinking it was going to be another one of those nights.
