Wales 4 England 0. Doesn't happen in senior football, does it? Only it actually did, it really did - and just eight months ago, too.
If Rob Page's World Cup Class of 2022 want some extra inspiration ahead of their mountainous World Cup task in Qatar on Tuesday, perhaps they should cast their minds back to events at Caernarfon's Oval ground at the end of March.
That was the night the Wales C team stunned their supposedly vastly superior England counterparts and pulled off a result for the ages.

It was, of course, the precise and indeed rather fanciful scoreline Gareth Bale and his side need to ensure they somehow progress to the last 16 of the World Cup this week.
Needless to say, there are several galaxies of difference between a Wales versus England clash at lower league level which went by and large under the radar and what's on the line in Doha, with the eyes of the entire world upon the two teams.
But the principle is still the same. Gareth Southgate has vastly superior players at his disposal - indeed every single member of his squad would arguably get into Wales' first-choice XI.
So did England C, mind. Their squad, made up of players from Notts County, Chesterfield and other leading National League lights, was said to be worth £1.1million in value. They were each full-time professionals. Wales team of semi-pros, by contrast, picked entirely from the Cymru Premier, was supposedly worth £50,000.
Even Wrexham players were out of bounds for Wales. England actually picked three of them, albeit they withdrew just before the match.
Yet on the day it was Wales who were triumphant, a starting XI made up largely of part-timers from Bala, Penybont, Cardiff Met, Barry Town and TNS, including a scaffolder, surveyor, teacher and student, scored after 10 minutes and then rampaged to their 4-0 victory over utterly bewildered opponents.
To put it into further context, it is perhaps the equivalent of Wales beating England 50 or 60 points to nil in the Six Nations. A real sporting rarity.
It's a mug's level, I hear the cynics saying. Yet Jamie Vardy played for England C. Whisper this very quietly, but so too did Kieffer Moore, just six years ago.
When the two sides for the March game were first announced, Sorba Thomas was chosen by England. The game was cancelled because of Covid and he subsequently threw in his lot in with Wales, coming on as a substitute in the World Cup opener with the USA.
In the previous clash between the countries, a 2-2 draw at Salford, Ryan Giggs, then Wales manager, Gary Neville and Paul Scholes were in attendance to watch.
It may not be the World Cup, but to those involved at that level this is the real thing. The 4-0 victory was masterminded by manager Mark Jones, who also writes a weekly column on the Cymru Premier for the South Wales Echo, his No.2 Christian Edwards, who played more than 100 times for Swansea City and once for Wales, plus coaches Neil Smoothers and Neil Ebbrell.
"The first person to come up to me afterwards was the Caernarfon manager," Jones recalls. He said 'It's not every day you beat England. Enjoy it - but I don't think you realise the wonders this result will do for our league'. It sunk in for me at that point.
"To me our league is a little bit under-rated. People say it's not this, it's not that, but that result against England was a chance to give our league a bit of the credit it deserves.
"You had to see the celebrations afterwards. To a man the players went back to the hotel, stayed together and had a sing song deep into the night."
Jones' pre-match team talk was based around eight or nine Wales players needing to win their individual battles, then the team was likely to win. The same principle will apply for Rob Page on Tuesday. This is not a league season, it's a one off Battle of Britain clash in which Wales simply have to prevail, by hook or by crook, if they are not to fly home early on Wednesday with a largely disappointing World Cup campaign behind them.
Four-nil, a result that would send Wales through and knock England out, isn't going to happen of course - even if it actually did earlier this year in that C match.
What Wales need to go for is a single goal victory and then hope USA and Iran draw in the other game. That sequence of results would also send Bale and his team through to the knockout stages.
The odds are hugely stacked against. Wales simply haven't been at the races in drawing with the USA, a somewhat fortuitous point, and losing 2-0 to Iran. That result and the manner of the performance was demoralising to so many.
Can Bale and Aaron Ramsey, who haven't been on song thus far, produce one last hurrah in Qatar and rally the team to an unlikely victory over Harry Kane and Co?
"I just hope we perform well and come out of the competition with pride," says Jones. "Remember, we're at the World Cup - a brilliant football nation like Italy aren't. But a good result versus England, whether we qualify or not, will demonstrate we can compete with anyone on our day."
England were stunned by Wales earlier this year. Can it happen again, albeit by a much closer scoreline, when it matters the most?
