Another early candidate has emerged for the best goal of the Euro 2016 qualifying campaign.

In an unlikely start to Tuesday's qualifier between the Czech Republic and the Netherlands, Bořek Dočkal gave the home side a 1-0 lead in the 21st minute with a thunderous left-footed half-volley that was struck from just outside the box and smashed off the upright before finding the back of the net.

Not much Jasper Cillessen could do there.
