OK, I lied, its not amazing.
Viana were playing Chapadinha in the Brazilian 2nd Division and needed an 11 goal victory to get themselves promotion.
2-0 up with 9mins to go...and guesses what happened?

"
Despite the victory, Moto Club didn't reach the Premier League in Maranhão".
Then the guy says: "The least the federation can do is anull the match and penalize both teams. Chapadinha e Viana must be penalized, because it's obvious that the match was fixed , they sold the game's results. I won't accept that, Moto Club won't accept that".
That's it, a sold match. Not that uncommon here in Brazil, specially in regional leagues...
Think that sums up the football down there pretty well

The defense didn't even attempt to make it look remotely real

I love it when the defender accidentally makes a tackle when he tries to pretend so ends up just passing it back to the forward player
