Kristopher Burton kicked 16 points to spur Benetton Treviso to a 30-26 victory over Biarritz.
The Italian side had gone into the Heineken Cup Pool Five game with an unbeaten home record in the competition and Burton helped them maintain that with three conversions and three penalties.
Early tries by Michele Rizzo and Robert Barbieri were converted by fly-half Burton, before Pelu Taele replied with a try.
Benetton's Cornelius van Zyl and Biarritz's Marcelo Bosch traded tries before Burton kicked a penalty as the home team led 24-12 at the break.
Burton opened up the second half with a penalty but tries from Damien Traille and Yann Lesgourgues and two conversions by replacement Julien Peyrelongue brought the visitors within a point, before Burton's late penalty edged his side to a famous win.
