How it's used
Originally derived from sports terminology, this term has expanded into everyday slang to describe any decisive, final move that settles a conflict or competition. It carries a sense of dramatic flair, implying that the victory was snatched from the jaws of defeat at the very last moment. While it is common in basketball or football contexts, you will frequently hear it used metaphorically in casual arguments or gaming.
Examples
He scored a buzzer beater in the last second, it was so exciting.
Do you think there is a chance for a last-minute goal in this match?

Common mistake
Do not use this to describe a simple win or a goal scored early in a game. It specifically requires the element of being a final, game-ending action that happens right before the clock runs out.
