A Ross Tierney strike sparked wild celebrations as the Republic of Ireland U21s prepared for their European Championship play-off second leg with Israel.
The Motherwell man sent a rocket volley into the top corner during the training session in Tel Aviv, with John O'Shea providing the assist.
Tierney was chased and applauded by his teammates after the strike, which has received plenty of plaudits online.

FIFA's official Twitter account posted: "Unfortunately, you can't win the Puskas Award for training ground goals. But if you could, Ross Tierney of @FAIreland U21s might have a strong claim."
Another account commented: "That is insane. Zinedine Zindane esque."
Someone else tweeted: "You have NO RIGHT to do that on a Football Field. CRIMINAL."
Jim Crawford's side are aiming to make history on Tuesday evening by becoming the first Ireland U21 team to qualify for a European Championship.
The sides played out a 1-1 draw in last week's play-off first leg at Tallaght Stadium after coming from behind thanks to an Evan Ferguson header.
The 17-year-old Brighton striker has been nursing a minor ankle injury since, but Crawford, who revealed he is likely to make changes, expects him to be fit and available for selection.
Asked about the teenager’s impact, he said: “He has unbelievable potential, he really has. He’s still young. He has a long way to go in terms of reaching his ceiling, but he’s been excellent since the first day he’s come in.
“He’s got a fantastic physical presence, a really good first touch, he can score goals as he showed the other night.
“We’ve seen him at close hand in our training sessions and he’s a special talent. It’s high potential at this point in time.”
