The Leixlip native’s first international goal was one to remember.

MICHAEL OBAFEMI grabbed the headlines on Saturday with a brilliant strike against Scotland, while Nathan Collins looks set to do the same in Lodz tonight.

The defender showed wonderful balance and composure to put Ireland ahead.

After intercepting a Ukraine pass, he managed to evade the challenge of three players before slotting home to open the scoring in spectacular fashion.

    Bit worried about him for a a few moments in the second half, but good to see him to get back in the pitch to finish out an impressive debut.
