Beto touched the ball back, and Everton came forward with everything they had left, which was more than the scoreline suggested.
It was almost unsalvageable, but one wouldn't know with the way that the home crowd was pushing them on.
The evidence of time was against them, but if it got to them, they didn't show.
The 4 minutes of regular time eventually passed, giving way to another six minutes of extra playing time being added to the clock.
"It's not impossible," the commentator said. "Everton are two down, but six minutes is six minutes, and they have the crowd, and they have Beto, and they're going to throw everything at this."
"I don't think Wigan will allow it," the co-commentator said. "But let's see."
What followed was Everton's best attempt at making the commentary look wrong with crosses coming in from both flanks.
It was relentless and last-ditch, the desperation of a side that had committed to one approach and was going to exhaust it completely.
