The referee raised his whistle to his mouth, blew it, and Brentford immediately sent the free kick into the box.
The delivery carried high toward the far side, dropping into an area where Wigan had little room for error.
Any lapse and they would find themselves staring at the net, but that was exactly what happened.
From deep, Wissa had already started his run.
He raced beyond the last line of Wigan players, attacking the ball with everything he had, and Ben Amos saw him.
For a moment, the goalkeeper simply tensed.
He could see the trajectory, and he could see Wissa arriving, but the Brentford forward lunged despite the obstruction the Wigan players tried to provide.
His forehead met the ball cleanly, sending it forward and beyond Amos before the goalkeeper could react, and all Amos could do was turn as the ball flew past him.
His heart sank, and around him, so did the hearts of everyone inside the DW.
