Aleksandr Bukharov's chest down and finish after a stunning Timofei Kalachev delivery through the middle put FC Rostov level against Manchester United in Thursday's Europa League Round of 16 first leg.
The 31-year-old - very much a muscular, fairly static forward - isn't known for that kind of technical panache, but his conclusion to the move had echoes of Robin van Persie in his pomp.
