Harlequins players celebrate winning their Amlin Challenge Cup Argentine winger Gonzalo Camacho scored a try three minutes from time to give Harlequins a dramatic 19-18 win over Stade Francais on Friday in the European Challenge Cup final.
It was Harlequins' third triumph in the tournament to add to their 2001 and 2004 wins.
But the English side left it late to secure victory.
With the clock ticking down, and with the French side deservedly 18-12 ahead, England scrum-half Danny Care chipped ahead to leave the Paris club back-tracking and Camacho picked up to score the only try of the evening.
That made the score 18-17 to Stade, who had dominated the second half having trailed 9-6 at the break.
Former All Blacks fly-half Nick Evans then stepped up to knock over a nerveless conversion from a difficult angle to add to his four penalties.

Victory also guaranteed Harlequins a place in the European Cup next season while big-spending Stade's poor season, which saw them fail to qualify for the continent's top competition, ended on a depressing note.
Evans, who was named man of the match for his 14 points, said he had been working on kicking under pressure.
"I'm paid to do it. All the kickers around the world do hours on the training pitch for moments like that," said.
"Being in the European Cup means everything - it's where we want to be, we feel we should be there.
"We never give up and although it wasn't pretty, it shows the character (director of rugby) Conor O'Shea has brought to club."

Number eight Nick Easter added on Sky Sports: "I've been here a long time and we haven't won any tangible silverware, so this is massive.
"We didn't play very well in the second half at all, they (Stade Francais) controlled the game. But credit to the guys, we never say die.
"Nick was unbelievable. It was a tough one - but that's what we pay him for, I suppose."
Lionel Beauxis had kicked four penalties for Stade with the impressive Mathieu Bastareaud and Martin Rodriguez adding a second-half drop goal apiece.
It was Stade's third defeat in a European final following losses in the 2001 and 2005 European Cup title matches.

Stade's England number eight James Haskell said: "I've got the feeling when I watch the game it's my fault we lost it, I think I came out of the line when I shouldn't have (for Camacho's try)...but that's what happens in pressure games.
"Realising you might be to blame is not good - I might not be sleeping too well tonight."
