consolation goal

In a sports match where one team is very far behind the other team, but manages to score point(s) very late in the game, despite the outcome already being obvious.

Most likely used in soccer/football where one team already has a huge advantage (5-0) and it's very late in the game (89th minute out of 90)

In Brazil v Germany's semi final match in the World Cup, Germany beat Brazil 7-1. Brazil scored their only goal in the 90th minute, making it a consolation goal because there was no way Brazil could change the outcome of the match (score 6 goals) in less than 1 minute.
