Bohemians caused a major upset in their Conference League qualifier after beating Greek side PAOK 2-1 at the Aviva Stadium.
With the away side boasting the likes of former Man United midfielder Shinji Kagawa, Bohs put on a stunning performance to claim the first leg victory.
Scottish winger Ali Coote opened the scoring after a brilliant run from striker Georgie Kelly, who laid it off to his teammate.
With 51 minutes gone, Coote scored once again but this time it was a shot from outside the box that fooled the PAOK keeper.
Unbelievable! Ali Coote has scored again for @bfcdublin against PAOK 🤯
The Scottish winger let fly from long range and his stinging drive was just too hot to handle!
52' @bfcdublin 2-0 PAOK
