The 25-year-old Dynamo Kiev star produced a fine finish in the 85th minute to inflict a morale-crushing blow to the Irish team and earn a famous victory for Luxembourg.
Losing at home to the side ranked 98th in the world is bound to be remembered as one of the worst losses in Irish football history.
Whatever happens from this point on, it will almost certainly be seen as a major lowpoint of the Stephen Kenny era.
The situation, it appears, cannot get much worse for the team at present, with their World Cup qualification hopes seemingly over after two just matches.
2008 - Coming into tonight Luxembourg had won just three of their 124 away matches in EURO/World Cup qualifiers (D10 L111) and were winless in their last 28 away qualifying matches (D6 L22) since a 2-1 win over Switzerland in September 2008. Alarming. pic.twitter.com/MrPTdAW9ta
