Forgotten ex-Celtic striker Patryk Klimala scored the opener in the Sydney derby on Saturday morning.
The Pole put his team, Sydney FC, 1-0 up early doors against Western Sydney Wanderers in a game which ended three apiece.
Latching on to a fine ball in behind the visitors' backline, Klimala smartly finished past the goalkeeper and celebrated right in front of a packed away end.

Brought to Celtic by Neil Lennon from Jagiellonia in January 2020, Klimala went on to make 28 appearances in green and white.
He scored just three goals before departing for New York Red Bulls in 2021.
He has since gone on to turn out for the likes of Hapoel Be'er Sheva, Slask Wroclaw, and now Sydney FC, where he has scored 10 goals in 20 appearances this season.
The Australian side have the option to buy him at the end of the current campaign.
