Semi Valemei pounced on a Warriors loose ball, looked up and saw 85m between him and the try line.
With the depleted Raiders desperately needing a spark, Valemei pinned his ears back down the left-hand touchline and bolted for the corner.
The roof of the Mal Meninga stand almost lifted off as the 21-year-old Fijian-born flyer showed Chanel Harris-Tavita a clean pair of heels before diving over in the corner.
That try reduced the margin to four points, before Elliott Whitehead set up a superb Hudson Young four pointer to give Canberra an unlikely half-time lead.
Canberra went on to triumph 26-14, thanks to some more Valemei magic in the second half.
He was on the end of a Jarrod Croker flick pass, finishing off a backline movement which was set up by a Whitehead intercept the play before.
Harris-Tavita was swatted away and Warriors star Peta Hiku was unable to parry the flying youngster who landed a double in just his sixth NRL game.
Valemei was unable to finish the game, unfortunately, forced to leave the field 11 minutes from time for a head injury assessment following a high shot from Jack Murchie.
The flashy winger's stock is rising rapidly - just what coach Ricky Stuart needs right now given injuries to outside backs Curtis Scott and Bailey Simonsson, and the impending departure to Canterbury of Nick Cotric.
