Thank you Pyry Soiri.
On as a substitute in the second half of Finland's Group I World Cup qualifier away to Croatia, the 23-year-old midfielder enjoyed a dream debut - scoring a 90th minute goal to level the match and end the reign of Ante Cacic.
The Croatian coach may not appreciate Soiri's sortie, but the new Finnish hero has made some friends in Ireland.
Croatia - now managed by Zlatko Dalic - have all but blown their chances of qualifying automatically, with group leaders Iceland requiring a home win against bottom team Kosovo to secure a spot at their first World Cup finals.
Dalic takes Croatia away to Ukraine knowing a win for either team will secure a play-off spot, but what Republic of Ireland fans need to know is that a draw in Kiev's Olympic Stadium on Monday night (7.45pm GMT) would see Ireland jump above Croatia in the race for a play-off spot, should Martin O'Neill's men beat Wales.
Croatia won 1-0 in Zagreb when the teams met in March - there is not a huge amount to separate two teams who will have to push for victory.
We knew that Thursday's results had opened a window for Ireland, with both Scotland and England eventually managing home wins against Slovakia and Slovenia respectively, but last night's result in Croatia was a more unexpected delight.
Our own Conor Neville crunched the numbers during the week and dismissed Group I as a 'long shot'.
Tonight in Group H, a Belgian win in Bosnia (or a draw) and a home win for Cyprus against Greece (or a draw) would be two more great results.
In group A we are hoping against hope that Luxembourg can get a win or even a draw in Sweden - failing that a home win by a single goal would be acceptable.
Once the penultimate round of games is complete this evening, Conor and his calculator will give us the definitive permutations on Sunday.
