What is right expression to say "last one play"?

Question

My Japanese friends like to say "last one play" in a futsal soccer game which means this game will be over if the ball becomes dead.

"Last one play" sounds a bit strange to me, but English is my second language.

Does "last one play" sound strange to a native English speaker?
What is the right expression to say it?

Many sports use sudden death to determine a winner, but that's a little different from the game ending the next time there is a dead ball. — pyobum, Commented Feb 24, 2015 at 1:38
One might say, "The next dead ball ends the game," or something similar. — pyobum, Commented Feb 24, 2015 at 1:39
what is "futsal"? Are you speaking of a regular soccer match, or a special version? I thought soccer matches run until time is used up, not until dead ball. — Brian Hitchcock, Commented Feb 24, 2015 at 9:28
@BrianHitchcock You are right if it is a real game, but my friends and I just play for fun. This is not a real futsal soccer rule. — Xin, Commented Feb 24, 2015 at 23:48

You can simply use "last play" or "final play". A sports announcer might say "And the teams square off for the final play of the game."
