Stephanie Roche might be up for another Puskas Goal of the Year nomination after scoring another stunner.

The Republic of Ireland international's latest highlight came in Wednesday's Istria Cup game against Costa Rica. Roche unleashed a beautiful volley from 25 yards that sailed into the top corner of the net, proving last year's wonder-goal was no fluke.

"Ah ye, I would love to do it (get nominated for the Puskas award) all again," Roche told Ger Keville of the Independent.

"Seriously though, I am just glad to show that I am capable of scoring goals like that and that the strike that got me to the Ballon D'Or was not a one off."
