The visitors are clearly keen to get the ball as far downfield as possible and hoof the restart into the corner. There's almost an own goal from a wayward back pass and then Andrew Gillespie looks certain to score a fourth for Widnes.
He's done the hard part by rounding keeper Dane Smith but, as the ball gets caught up on the bobbly surface, his effort is cleared off the line by Ben Hoskin.
From Smith's enormous goal kick, Padiham are set on the attack again and, after Bradley Ditch's header comes back off the crossbar, Jordan was following in to head home an unlikely equaliser, to the delight of the three fans behind the goal.
The dramatic minute was captured by the cameras of Millbour Productions and has since gone viral on social media as an example of the thrills and spills of non-league and football in general.
Padiham manager Liam Smith said it had brought 15 minutes of fame to his team.
'Everyone wants a piece of it,' he told the Burnley Express. 'It's mental, my phone has been going crazy. I think the clip captures every genre of film.
'There's horror, comedy, thriller, action. It's the craziest minute of football that I've ever been involved in. I've never witnessed anything like it.
'I didn't realise that the goals were that close together. I thought the footage had been clipped.
'There's a bit of everything in there and I would love Jamie Carragher and Gary Neville to analyse it.
'Carragher has retweeted it and it's started to go global. Any publicity is good publicity though. It's good to get the clubs name out there.
'There's people from all over the world commenting on it. We didn't expect it to go this crazy. It's great and it's even better to be on the right side of it.
'It was entertaining to say the least. It sums up what we've got in the dressing room - that 'never say die' attitude.'
The point kept Padiham in ninth position in the table, a point and a place above their opponents Widnes.
