Merino
a force notorious for bringing piercing defeat (or salvation) at the worst possible moment; a late-minute intervention that ensures utter defeat (or salvation).
NOTE: This word functions as a contranym: defeat for one means victory for another, hence a merino is simultaneously someone's late minute defeat or late-minute salvation.
ORIGIN: From Spanish footballer Mikel Merino, who built a reputation for coming on as a substitute to score late-minute winners in important games.
