Biarritz fly-half Julien Peyrelongue knocked over a penalty with the last kick of the game to snatch a 21-19 win over Bayonne at Parc des Sports Aguilera.
In a fiery Basque derby, three players were sin-binned while the father of Biarritz star Imanol Harinordoquy had to be wrestled to the ground after running on to protect his son in the first punch-up of the match in the sixth minute.
Bayonne looked to have sealed a win against their bitter rivals when Benjamin Boyet converted Thibault Lacroix's try six minutes from time, but Peyrelongue landed his fifth penalty of the match to give Biarritz a crucial win.
The victory - just their second in 11 games - took Biarritz off the bottom of the Top 14 table, although they could return to the bottom should Lyon beat Montpellier on Wednesday.
